Jay Shroeder Audio Interview

@James_Smith

Touche, well done.

Well in all your 25 posts here you’ve dedicated at least 2 to me.

A true fan.

Alternatively, your words have so accurately validated my criticisms of the opinionated amateurs who comprise such a large percentage of the western sport training industry. It’s curious how so many of you are so confident in speaking out of turn when it’s clear that you have the practical experience of novice.

Perhaps you might consider dedicating more scrutiny to what you post for the world to see.

While it’s difficult enough to take your words seriously, you’ve thrown all hope out the window with your childish behavior on camera.

I benched what you squat when I was 18 years old weighing 175lbs right after I got done squatting 315 for sets of 10.

But if it makes you feel better I have a 155lb running back who just benched 275lb.

Here’s some free advice from someone whose been training since before you were conceived I imagine: take a 5-10 year hiatus from the internet and go accomplish something half-way respectable in the form of strength preparation before you attempt to have a voice in the community.

You’re embarrassing yourself Andrew.

You’re barely old enough to drink legally, read a few books, accomplished jack in the form of training, and thinks he knows something.

The Internets finest. A true martyr.

I know you probably didn’t mean to but I have to thank you for proving my point beyond compare.

wow… wasn’t expecting this wonderful post from such a wonderful guy.

let me clarify my situation real quick, since i have the need to defend myself from a douchebag such as yourself… hopefully you read it, if you don’t whatever, (too harsh for internet - censored).

1. My 285 x 1 @ 165 lb. squat PR after ~1.5 years of squatting, yes, I know that is horrible to most people on this forum, but lets consider a few things:

• 2 years into college, I naturally had the genetics to only hit ~25" or so off a running jump.

• I ran a 4:32 mile while boxing @ 147 lb.

• I have a disorder in my sacral spine which affects my squatting, and have been injured my entire life.

Ok, so what part of going from 27" to 39-40" running vert in the last two years from age 25-27 is pathetic?

I don’t care what you bench at 18… I don’t care that you were a naturally stronger kid than me… I can say, did you ever break 5 in a mile? Did you ever go eight 3 minute rounds in boxing versus pros? Have you ever hit 39-40" running vertical?

I saw your 35" standing vert video, and I won’t even comment on it… with your short arms for jumping but long arms for benching, how cute ;d

pick one, inflate ;d

I’ve hit 1.8 x BW on squat, and I’m damn proud of it… How many “marathon runners genetics individuals” do you get who have jumped 39-40" off a run?

I’ve had plenty of success training many athletes, without advanced super complex omg easternbloc nut suckery… I’ve put a few on my youtube… your fascination which russia, disrespect for “the west”, and downright douchebaggery is annoying.

If my own individual journey in performance is based upon my “weight room numbers”, then ya it’s pretty embarrassing. Performance on the field/court/track is not dictated by weightroom numbers, so get a clue.

adios.

ps: i love alot of what has come out of the east… none of which includes james smith or jay schroeder… jay schroeder actually has some nice ideas though, it’s just that his 151 lb. on his bench press claims in 34 hours etc ruin him a bit.
