Has he? He wins the Mr. O in 2008, loses it in 2009, but not just that, he comes in third to a less stellar Branch. He places 4th at this yr's Arnold, and now second at the Aussy Pro to Kai.
We all remember Chris Cormier, 5 time Ironman winner, Aussy Pro winner. And 6 time Arnold Classic 2nd place winner...6 times! Losing to a syntholed Flex in 2000, Ronnie Coleman in 2001, and the most crazy twice to Jay Cutler...Chris could be called the heartbreak kid. Arguably one of the most aesthetic bodybuilders of all time, Chris eventually faded away, even when he still had gas left in the tank, his placings shook him.
Now, look at what is happening to Dex, a similar situation, similar that he is one of the most aesthetic bbers of his time, yet he is being denied. Or is he being forced to work harder or forced out?
