When he was on, which was most of the time, Cormier was literally prefect. Perfectly proportioned, including overall muscle mass. But it seems
you have to have some freaky body part to make an impression on the judges. When everything flows together perfectly you seem to lose
the "wow" factor" in many judge's eye. And of course he was competing at a time when the line up was stacked to the gills. Anyone one of the top five from that era would wipe the floor with the current crop we have now.


you may be right but I disagree. I never thought he dialed it in often enough. imho, he was more of a hit and miss miss miss hit. never consistent imho. he had the genetics but not the work ethic needed to be a top BB.

I wouldn't say work ethic, everyone's always saying Chris was lazy but I differ. Like I said I've seen Chris train for years in the late 90's and he was a hard trainer, trained heavy, and old school

What more could he have done? Wasn't like he was goin to win the O, 4X runner up at the Arnold, ironman, countless other victories, top 3 at the O a few times in which he should have beaten flex in 99 and another to levrone in 2002 which he should have beaten as well

I won't disagree with that. All in all, an in retrospect, I think he wasted his talent for bbing by not being disciplined enough. People bash on Jay a lot and I agree that he didn't train with the ferocious intensity of a Yates or Coleman but the guy was a machine. Not missing workouts and an eating schedule that was always right on the dial. And he wasn't into the party scene with all the rec drugs involve which is death for
any pro bber.

You were Arnold's PEAK height. Today sadly you'd have inches on him.

Yeah Arnold looks to be 5'11 these days, it's like every year he shrinks a bit more  :-\
