This guy was quite impressive but came a little short of his goals… However, he is looking like a monster either way. Here is…

“Bodybuilder Johnnie Jackson, 275, came up a bit short today on his goals of a 900 pound deadlift and 600 pound bench press at the USPF Multi-Nationals in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Johnnie Jackson was a pro powerlifter prior to his becoming a pro bodybuilder.

i second that chuck says he is goin to squat like 1240 in his next meet with an 1150 opener. i seen him last sunday watching a meet and he is an f'in animal he is so big right now. matt wenning is another that throws up big numbers too especially for being 6'3"
