Chris Cook retired, becaue he got screwed in bodybuilding.He was supposed to be endorsed by Gamma O, and Muscular Developement.It was supposed to be a joint endorsement deal.He was supposed to get paid $100,000 a year.He never gfot a dime from either one of them.Plus he did I think 2 pro shows, and got last place.The reason for this is, Chris Cook couldnt get hard, or conditioned.Chris Cook was a genetically a light heavyweight ,he was using 60 ii's of insulin per day, that how he got so big so fast.
This came right from his mouth.Chris was open about what he did and what he used.
The reason Chris would come in shows smooth, is Hany Rambod, would have him carb load with a 100 grams of carbs.
I remember at 2004 USA, Chris was so bloated from taking 1000 grams of carbs, he kept getting gas, every time be bent over, or did anything.He was so embarrased he kept apologising for getting gas, in front of everyone.He was polite.It got to the point were we just laughed everytime he broke wind.To make matters worse they had a camera crew backstage at the USA's following him around, because I guess thjey were hyping him up.Poor Chris, is farting his ass off, in front of these people interviewing him, lol.
So I think between Chris getting screwed out of his endorsement deal, plus not being able to get hard because off all the insulin he used made him not want to bodybuild.Plus he guest posed once in California , and he condition was horrible, to the point people posted pics of him on the internet making fun off him.
Chris Cook just got fed up with bodybuilding, can you blame him
Someone that was competing for his Pro Card can.
He knew what he was getting into. He didn't just turn pro overnight- he had to have known at least a year prior to jumping on that stage the night of his last amateur contest that it was not going to be easy.
If he's taking 60iu's of shit daily, getting gas and whatnot but still had the desire to get on that stage and take someone's Pro Card away, YES WE CAN BLAME HIM.
He showed up to that one guest posing so far out of shape, so off (chemicals and otherwise) he gave the promoter his money back. His condition for that show did not happen overnight either.
When he turned pro, many people said that Chris got a gift. So he gets his gift and then just walks away after all that you're saying he did?
Sounds like the guy was in it for the wrong reasons, and your story of the Gamma-O/MD is a cover-up. I don't fault him if he did get screwed, but that's hardly the real reason why I see somebody walking away after working towards getting his Pro Card.
