Since he never anwsered these questions before here it is again:
By now it should be blatantly obvious how much of an exaggerator JDV is.
JDV says by his own admission that he has been an elite powerlifter but never a super elite powerlifter, apparently JDV has his own vocabulary that most people don't understand. Here is a breakdown:
When JDV says "elite", it means above average to the real world.
When JDV says "super elite", it translates into what most english speakers would call elite.
We can only wonder what the rest of JDV's super words mean to the rest of the world. How about JDV's word of "drug free", what does that entail? Let's find out.
JDV, please answer the following questions regarding your use of the word drug free:
Does this include the use of substances which are legal for over the counter sale but banned by certain athletic affiliations including the MLB, NFL, NCAA, IOC, etc...?
Does this include the use of prohormones?
What do these substances do?
What is your affiliation with the legal substance known as "superdrol"? Were you one of the many lifters who pu this into their bodies? Did this substance turn out to be something very similar to a designer steroid, such as the steroid THG which you know from the BALCO scandal.
Have you taken substances in the past which were legal at the time for over the counter sale which have since been declared illegal? Was this pre-androstendione ban?
JDV admits he has never been "super elite" meaning one of the best in the sport. Yet somehow managed to win 3 national championships in the sport. I don't understand, maybe JDV can use his "super" vocabulary to explain that.
I'll try, during no year did JDV have the best totals in the country for his weight class or age group, that should answer it for you.
Here are some questions that will end all the JDV specualtion and hating:
Regarding the best squat ever of 863 lbs, the 525 lbs bench and the 670 lbs deadlift:
What gear did you use?
Did you go all the way down?
Was this in training or at a competiton?
Do powerlifters usually list their best training lifts as their best lifts?
Regarding McGwire Training:
How long was McGwire under your program?
Did he pay you?
Why didn't you coninue to train him post 1992 off-season?
At Cal did you compete in intramural or varsity rugby?
If it was varsity, did you earn a varsity letter, or just practice for a few days?
How about Judo, was that intramural too? Were you invited to the intramural collegiate nationals?
How about USA wrestiling, did you ever compete in a match for them? Did you wrestle collegiately?
If not, how did you keep up with those other collegiate wrestlers from back East who were wrestling for USA?
Were you recruited for USA lifting? Please elaborate on this, what was the situation?
JDV, there are a lot of things you don't know and shouldn't pretend to. There are a lot of Diablo lifters who don't use drugs and have been very succesful. They don't need to rant on and on about themselves because they let people find out things about them on their own. Keep that in mind, it may serve you well in life. Here's a free powerlifting message for you:
Gear doesn't work for you because you don't train right. It is not simply put the gear on and get bigger lifts. Gear is very specific, meaning you pick out gear which will help your weak area in a lift. Gear selection and utilization is a long process that must be worked on for a lengthy period of time leading up to a competiton. By the way, based on those pics you posted at the APC's it looks like you're in some pretty heavy gear, I thought you weren't about gear and that's why you were leaving the sport. Maybe I missed something.
Here is smoe more advice, nobody like you because you constantly brag about yourself and won't shut the **** up.
