who here knows the real story behind the all-too-quick rise and fall of the bodybuilder who at one point appeared to have the entire industry by the balls??
good structure, marketable looks, could have went far.....but after some mediocre placings appeared to fall quickly back to anonymity.
what was the story?
why did his conditioning become such and apparent problem?
why did he go from this, to making appearances like this :-[

I knew a gym owner who was friends with Chris and every time I went to the store the guy would rant about how much pussy Chris gets and bangs. Not sure how much was bullshit though.

he looks like a grandad in the first pic

I think he and a vision of reality. Not only is he getting up there in age (for the sport) but he did the juice, place well in some competitions but then came to realize he has topped out in that profession. Add years of basically a 24hr job of eating, lifting, juice and all the other shit that comes with that type of lifestyle and just had enough. Physically, mentally...hell maybe he was just freaking bored of it all together and wanted to pursue other dreams.
Obviously he had enough sense to just let the dream die...unlike the 56yr old, Ed Hardy, Gold Chain wearing douches that hit on young 20yr old chicks at your local nightclub. To sum it up..some aren't so obsessed, narcissistic and more than likely sociopathic that they need to be a monster that is "6 pack ripped" in their 40's. Priorities change as you age and mature.

Didn't Beefyheavyweight weigh in at one point with some Chris stories?

Yea ask Beefy aka Tom Prince what he thinks about Chris...

for some... other get in their 60s being as insecure as they were at 16yo. You dont mature automatically as you age... there are things to do and understand only a few do and understand.

awesome structure no doubt

he wasn't that good

He was the US-Version of Dennis Wolf.

Chris was a very good bodybuilder with outstanding work ethic.....very commited.
Basically, he became disenchanted with the business side of BB when the deal with his supp company/ MD went south...He re-evaluated what his future was and came to the conclusion that he needed more security for himself and his family.
He is currently working in the financial industry and went back to college part time to further his knowledge.....he dabbled in MMA as a hobby, to replace the athletic drive he had for competition/ ...
Just had their second child not too long ago...

now that a couple of years have past, and chris might be able to separate himself from any residual negative emotions he might harbor, and look at his situation objectively
that might be a VERY interesting interview on PBW
**although that will never happen because your sponsors do not want any subject matter addressed that is a little edgy, and does not fit into the glamorous fairytale of fame, health, and success that supplement companies and magazines create to move product
shame though, chris cook might be one of the most interesting interviews in bodybuilding
perhaps aaron singerman can check it out, that is, if his show has not fully and entirely sold out yet, and forgone any of their previous, edgy content

is it true him and cormier used to fuck?
-

Wasnt Chris the married "family man"?
Could be true. Now on his conditioning, it was always a problem, he could never dial it in. He made Edgar Fletcher look ripped.
-
Chris looked AWESOME WHEN HE WAS ON POINT! But yeah he sorta fell off.
And didn't it take him forever to turn pro, just kept getting raped by the judges!

The problem was, he was never really on point, he was another one that was "given" a pro card. Even when he won he was soft...He had great shape, and I think Flex had trained him for a lil bit, but dude never, and I mean never dailed it in.

I think he just needed more muscle maturity, he was still only in his 20's. Or maybe he couldn't get totally ripped not everyone can be Munzer.

That is when alot of people get their pro cards, won his pro card over those who looked better and had better shape and conditioning. "They" wanted push him.
No, dude was soft---people have always commented on how soft he was, and how he posed awkwardly with his knees bent and pointed out when doing a Lat spread or FDB, and with that chicken lil haircut...And because he couldn't deliver, mags like Flex stop pushing him as a golden boy.

Tom Prince is not Beefyheavyweight... in case most of you forgot, Beefy dropped the dime on Tom and the infamous paper bag fiasco, and him ripping off people in Minnesota...promising them Russian D-Bol, taking their $$$ and running.
-

you should do some homework, you have to know someone the industry that can point in the direction of getting in touch with him.
i cannot think of someone involved with bodybuilding that would be a more interesting interview then chris........in a very short span of time, he went from the industries new "it" boy to a disgruntled retired competitor who appears to have turned his back on the BB world entirely

I'm trying. Email sent... FB message sent. Hopefully Chris isn't another Greg Kovacs (doesn't want to be found or interviewed).

you would think he would be flattered that people still gave a shit about him being that he disappeared years ago...plus it would give him a chance to set the record straight and tell the bb world what his thought process was (though maybe some people just want to turn the page) i cant see how it would hurt anything though, its a human interest piece.
the rhaine priest interview was surprisingly candid on her part, when you first announced her a guest i kinda wondered what you felt she had to say that was important or interesting, but she didnt shirk any questions, and though i thought she was bullshitting alot (about the role steroids play in lee's life and so on) that kinda stuff is out of you hands. you gotta respect a girl who is ballsy enough to field questions regarding her husbands purported scat fetish.

you knew him well, he trained with you, right? his wife probably stood by him through his pursuit of bbing pro status, paid some bills, and when pro bbing didnt deliver, due to whatever reasons, they had to re-evaluate, and she helped him realize what to do...

Chris Cook interview

Some guys just run out of cash, plain & simple. He must carry at least a 20-25 grand drug cost per cycle.

Chris Cook actually did deserve his pro card and could have been an exceptional professional bodybuilder. I helped him for two shows including when he won his pro card. Here's a pic from the Ntionals when he won. In fact, I sat next to Victor martinez who I was also helping in the day, and when Chris came out, I recall Victor saying "shows over" Not that Vic's opinion is the be all and all. But in my eyes, he killed the class...c aceto

Thanks for the update, Chick.
Didn't know him personally, but I considered Chris a very likable guy. Despite his success, he struck me as genuinely appreciative of the opportunities that came his way pretty early, unlike so many who feel 'entitled'.
Glad to hear that he's doing well.

Yeah, in your opinion...but why did he always come in smooth, almos like he didn't care or didn't know how or did it on purpose? There is no could of, because we can't tell what HD would have done because his conditioning sucked.

Well my point is pretty clear but if you missed it i will just say it
1) Chris, when I worked with him. looked great when he won. Period. Its the only time he ever came close to his hype
2) He was hyped to death for sure
3) He always was smooth pre and post working with me
4) That siad, he certainly had the body to be great. But he didnt have the head for it. Most bodybuilders dont have the head for it.

Of those bodybuilders who do have 'the head for it', what percentage are broke or almost broke?

Chris Cook interview
8/08/ 05
enjoy
thats not what i meant bob, of course you interviewed him at the height of his fame when he was competing
where he talks about hsi training, looking toward his next show, and how he has his sight set on the olympia, blah, blah, blah
but as we know now, that was not all true, and during that time he was very uncertain and in alot of personal turmoil.
i thought it might be interesting to do an expose on why he left the sport, and put the BB lifestyle behind him entirely......like i said it interests people how a guy can go from the most talked about newcomer to retired forever in like the span of a year
interviewing him when he was on top was an EASY interview :-\ :-\

You obviously dont know Tom well enough then... He'd do this JUST to try and further disguise who he is... "It can't be Tom, he called Tom out on all this stuff"... LOL I'm 99.9% sure it's him.

Chris, would you care to dispell a popular myth here about carbohydrate intake and fat storage. There seems to be some fellas that practice "bro science" here. I'm not sure even with your help, you can get through to them though. Let me know and I'll pose the question.
BTW what do you mean by "having the head for it"? Does that mean the anything at all costs attitude or being able to deal with the monotonous life that is bodybuilding?

many bodybuilders live a very chaotic lifestyle, selling drugs, going to clubs, using recreational drugs, late nights
the ones who do the best are obviously the most disciplined, like yates, cutler, and coleman
-
I'm trying. Email sent... FB message sent. Hopefully Chris isn't another Greg Kovacs (doesn't want to be found or interviewed).
(What did you think of the Rhaine [Lee] Priest interview?)
Aaron, I thought the Dusty Hanshaw interview was very good! I'd like to hear your interview Chris Aceto and Dante.

A CB/Safety for UVA has the same name.

Aaron, I thought the Dusty Hanshaw interview was very good! I'd like to hear your interview Chris Aceto and Dante.
fuck dante, what a self important douchebag........you have a theory on workiing out, your not stephen hawking
i have never seen a guy spend more time getting people's attention so he can tell people people that he is not looking for attention
....he posts on message boards all the time, that he is not looking for attention..........if you really arent looking for attention, then shut the fuck up, and stop calling attention to yourself
it amazes me anyone would buy into his fucking garbage......volume works, intensity works, frequency works.........they all work..........you lift heavy weight........you grow.......all roads lead to rome
stop with the recluse guru, fucking yoda routine, .......your a mediocre zilch dante, go kill yourself

Lol.... I don't suppose you would actually have any basis for this statement would you. When pressed about why Beefy was outing everybody, he told about how he lost someone close to the G4P scene, and then told about his first rude awakening, when before an amateur competition, (that Katz was a judge in) told him, "I like Italians and I would love to ride your cock all the way to the prejudging."
First Tom isn't Italian, and secondly, his G4P involvement is quite legendary, thirdly Beefy gave Chick quite a bit of grief, which if he is Tom would be odd considering they are friends. Bob also stated that he knew who it was, and that his name was John. So your theory is incongruent with both the statements, and facts that we have thus far. for a number of reasons.
So unless you have some evidence you would like to present, either here or via PM to me, I find your statement completely absurd.

what kind of stupid argument is that, are you the product of incest??
just cause there is legislation for something does not make it bad OR good
it just means that a bunch of rich old white men thought things should run a certain way because it was in their interest
there have been plenty of terrible laws, laws making it ok to own slaves, laws permitting child rape, laws allowing a man to dessert his family and leave the wife nothing
are you that much of a sheep?
what about alcohol, so someone who drank alcohol during prohibition was a criminal??........but a person who drank alcohol the day it was repealed was an upstanding citizen??
you base your moral decisions in life on whether or not politicians tell you its ok or not, then your really fucked
because most of the time they are participating in things they have made laws against......drugs, prostitution, corruption
your a fucking sheep.......

are you that much of a sheep?
what about alcohol, so someone who drank alcohol during prohibition was a criminal??........but a person who drank alcohol the day it was repealed was an upstanding citizen??
you base your moral decisions in life on whether or not politicians tell you its ok or not, then your really fucked
because most of the time they are participating in things they have made laws against......drugs, prostitution, corruption
your a fucking sheep.......
I'm impressed. One of the best posts I've seen ever.

i cannot think of someone involved with bodybuilding that would be a more interesting interview then chris........in a very short span of time, he went from the industries new "it" boy to a disgruntled retired competitor who appears to have turned his back on the BB world entirely
Would this be any different than a story on Richard Jones?

i actually dont know much about richard jones, i mean, i remember seeing him on the cover of flex once. but from what i do know, yeh, i guess it is similar. richard jones would probably be an interesting interview as well.
thanks everyone about for the kind words about my post, good to see there are some people left that speak from rationality and objectivness, not emotion and rushed judgment

I think to a certain extent you have to be really f'ing crazy to want to be a pro bodybuilder, knowing the lengths they take to look the way they do...
With that being said, u have to be even MORE nuts to attempt to do it with SHITTY genetics- eg- DAVE PALUMBO...
So, certainly, it's no surprise that guys with HALF A BRAIN like Rich Jones, maybe have realized they'd never win the Mr. O or make BIG TIME MONEY given what they have to work with... so they've decided to do something else with their life...

I don't have much to offer but I do have some. Trained at golds in san jose (before they tore it down) and cook used to lift there, Ray Arde as well. Not many others I can think of.
Anyway Chris Cook- the words ALL DRUGS def come to mind. Dude was strong I won't deny that, had huge legs but his utter lack of a chest and horrible back highlight how he got to his size DRUGS. He's the stereotypical bodybuilder- lifts some weights with shitty form, grows a little, juices long before he really understands how to build a huge, balanced physique- EXPLODES because he has great genetics, competes and burns out before he realizes his true potential. He would have done much better had he waited before juicing so much. He would have had to fight to grow for a while and actually LEARNED how to properly train and might have had a balanced physique.
As it was, here is what I remember. He would come in the gym and a typical arm workout would be some half assed alternate db curls, taking a full 5-6 minutes between sets to either chit chat or stare at himself. Then, Hany would come in the the two of them would dissappear into the bathroom for oh I dunno 20 minutes, maybe 30 or so. Come back out, his shoulders and arms would have fucking welts everywhere. He would sit on the bench, do some seated hammer curls with the 100's with 0 intensity, look like he was in major pain and leave. Legs were hilarious- he used to life in this spandex that was fucking pink and black, sometimes yellow and black. Never understood why a guy would wear pink fucking spandex to lift in. His legs were HUGE, easily his b

guy whats with this fucking thing bouncing around?
Anyway his legs were big but again shitty training. Half reps on the leg press with shit loads of weight etc. I never really saw him work chest. I don't think he liked to. He was the kind of guy who would spend 3 hours training his good parts and ignore the bad, like his weaknesses would fix themselves I guess. Anyway I think the guy could have gone far but he had no clue how to lift and burned out too soon. He was bitter about his contract? Well, yeah, when you look terrible guest posing and worse competing sponsors drop you like a bad habit. Competitive bbers should know this going in. Bbing feeds off the next best thing- you are it, or you fade into obscurity. I personally blame Hany Rambod for many of Cook's issues and eventual decision to retire- the guy made Chris take insame amounts of shit IMO. Im talking synthol gear esiclene whatever. I think Hany made good money off hyping Chris, pointing his finger and saying LOOK I TOOK THE GUY PRO! And that was all he cared about. Make a quick buck you know? Instead what he should have done was work with Chris on his weaknesses, show him how to properly lift, how to build a solid foundation before mega juicing. Hany just propelled the guy into the pro ranks to solicit his implied skills and make money. That's my take anyway.

according to Chick: "Chris was a very good bodybuilder with outstanding work ethic.....very commited."
maybe Bob has a different definition of "work ethic" than everybody else?

Nah he's protecting the guy. They were prolly friends. I will tell you HONESTLY Chris was a fucking lazy lazy lazy trainer. Without his genes he's the skinny guy clogging up the bench press for an hour while he wanders the gym talking to chicks and skinny guys and meandering back to the bench every so often to do a half assed set. The only work ethic he had was from the notion he was going to be a top pro, and had a shit load of guys clamouring around him, pushing him. When he fizzled as a pro, the hype died down and he had nothing to fall back on. Without a team of people feeding him shooting him training him hyping him etc he was nothing.

Well in reality (ie truth) Chris Cook worked with me for the nationals when he turned pro. It was the best (and only time) he looked very good. And after the show, he was bewildered. He thought, or was told, that chemicals in insane amounts were required. After the show MD and F Wheeler and the gang never mentioned my name. Though Chris an up and up guy always did. Point being" Hany rambod never turned "turned" chris cook pro. Second, MD facilitated the lie he did.

I think everyone here believes you.
What do you think of Hany and his methods. Does he have any credentials as a nutritionist.

Thanks for posting here... you have some thick skin then you will be a great asset to this board.
Whom do you think had the best raw genetics that you ever worked with. Most overrated/underrated? I guess just sharing some general thoughts of some of the people you have worked with would be very interesting.

If he worked with you winning the nationals I believe you. I more or less lost touch/interest after he left san jose. I assumed since I always saw him with Hany at the gym that when chris went to LA he continued to retain hany's services. Ignorance of the truth on my part. Get the truth out there. Hany is a scumbag I would think many guys would benefit from hearing the truth and using a legit nutritionist if they want to compete.

what's your point?

In Haiti rape was legal until 2005.
for that matter, in many parts of africa, its is perfectly legal to cut off your daughter's clitoris with a knife to ensure she will never derive any physical pleasure from sex, thus only engaging in intercourse for purposes of breeding and pleasing her husband. :D :D :D

dont know him but only way to get so big so fast and lose it all so fast (shy of getting sick) is doing tren/test/gh/slin and then some abombs in another cycle etc (im sure i missed a few drugs)_
slin is a destroyer (unless you have serious guidance)
