See the Chris Cormier(280 pounds bodyweight) tries out for NBC's American Gladiators video .
Incredible !!
(How many reps getbiggers can do ??)
-
Wow!
I can only do 12 - I'm big boned.
-
How recent is this ???
-
What is that? A rip off of Ghetto Nigg@s workout?
And in all fairness I would have counted the last 5 ::)

I see, thanks for the link musclecenter. Quality posting as always ;D

That's kind of F'ed up if he has to do this to make money....Someone give that man a job....

When a job comes up to play a part for NBC and you want to make a bigger name for yourself I'd say it's a good idea.
-
Damn, Chris looking good! ;)
I don't know, if he is 280...you think they'll let him on the show? A guy who would be bigger and stronger than
the gladiators?? He'll manhandle them ;D
-
Impressive. Most impressive...

-
This must be a joke! Looks like a fat mans workout.
-
He did 11 reps... No where near 20..
-
more like 15
-
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?????????????
-
I was going to say that a guy like CC is probably too "black and rough looking" for the show but it looks as if that "Mayhem" guy destroys that theory

that is one unathletic bloated bodybuilder
-
He didn't got his chin over the bar one fucking time...shame shame, this is a prof that bodybuilders deserve their reputation as worthless athletic... :P
-
I thought they were testing for roids ;)

super
-
Still, they are stupid for not taking cormier. They took wolf over comier for fucking crying out loud. ::)
-
Damn, Chris is really out of shape, just as most bodybuilders are..
"1"
-
that torn tricep is looking bad.
that's probably why he took it easy on the push up/jump up exercise.
-
Goddamn, he has no athletic ability at all :-\
-
20 reps my ass!!! he got 11, which still ain't too bad for a large fella. by the way, my PR is 8 full reps with 50 pounds attached 8)
-
His burpees were atrocious. I've never seen someone fall forward when coming up like that. Granted he has a tricep injury but he took his sweets as time on those which made him look out of shape.
-
well...his chins ups were pretty alright for a big guy....but not burpees...... :-\
-
33 max :)
-
33 max :)
damn dude! you did 33 full reps? now dats pretty damn impressive :o
-

i bet he and cormier weigh the same ::)
-
Chris Comier got a lot of positive exposure in that movie John Q Public, but what did it do for him...did he ever get any offers from Hollywood?
-
Cormier like what? 285 or so?
-

no fuccking way, 250 TOPS.
-
cormier is 250
squadfather 240
they're virtually the same.
-
IS anyone trying out? ???

is that what i said? my bodyfat levels are DRASTICALLY higher than his, he's got at least 45 pounds OF LEAN MASS on me.
-

i know ;)
but 9 outta 10 times on getbig people only talk about weight and never bodyfats or height
so it makes it kinda pointless as it doesnt tell the whole story
-

but he is black.
-
but he is black.
;D ;D ;D
-
he cant grow white on him.
-
The great Michael Jackson did too.
-
i like the way they put his "running" sequence in fast forward....because he was almost walking form cone to cone....
-
All those fuckers trying out took my damn parking spot when I was trying work.
It was pretty amusing though, some guy was going through the line and pointing at certain people and saying "Go home, go home, you can stay, you go home".
Doubtful Chris will make it though, he's too old and too out of shape for that stuff.
-
That all pretty much sucked
Pull ups were horible
Just a former Marines opinion when it comes that kid of display

LOL...those surely werent dead hangs LOL
the D.I. would have kept counting "11, 11, 11, 11"
-
He's 250+ lbs lol...
When I was in the Corps...I was 240...& could do 20 complete dead hang pull ups....behind the neck or in front of the chin....no problem.
If you ever seen the correct Marine Corps pull up performed....you would be like 'Holy shit'. You are told when to start pulling from a complete dead hang (no swinging....no movement from your legs). When your chin clears they will count the rep.....& this is for every pull up performed.
-
That's kind of F'ed up if he has to do this to make money....Someone give that man a job....
Chris Cormier has a Muscletech contract and a Weider AMI contract. Not bad. He was there trying out for the second season of American Gladiators. Why not? Excellent exposure, and more.
There were 3,000 people trying out, and it was really cool...
Here you go... pictures, story and videos..

I've always been a Cormier fan, but there's no way he makes that show.
His sprints and burpees were way too slow. The only event he could do would be the gauntlet or assault.
-
I hope he makes it. he'll put some star power on the show, and be a good addition.
He'll be scary big next to the other male gladiators who are no more than fitness models IMO.
-
He did 11 reps... No where near 20..
No shit-20 reps, the last 10 he only went up 2-3 inches??
The first 10 he did not even bust his neck even with the bar??
Pease biotch. 8)
-
most of that was pretty bad. Lethargic "sprints", 11 good reps and of course the awkward looking burpees (although he can be excused if he was protecting his tricep).
Did you see how out of breath he was?
This performance was pretty sad considering at one time cormier was considered one the strongest bbers. Check out battle for the o 96 where chris and a young melvin anthony are doing pullups. Chris literally exploded with each rep!
I cant understand why levrone hasnt tried out for this. He seems to possess decent athletiscim even when 250lbs+ and he'd get far exposure on the show than any of his shit films ever would.
-

fitness models that can move....
chris would throw up on the contestants before the challenge would end. you need at least a little cardio to be on that show....
-
Call me crazy but that was a most pathetic attempt at atleticism. I love Cormier by the way but I believe this is something Phil Heath is better suited for.
-
Let's see him do it again with these guys:
-
Cormier needed to drop to about 250 before he tried out. He should know that, he played football in college, as well as wrestling.

I thought it said he was at 280..He looks out of shape for 250--that is is comp weight.

you guys read too much Flex magazine, have you ever seen Chris step on a scale at a show?
-
HA HA HA HA!!!
I just saw that video of a pathetic attempt at athleticsim..
the burpees were paricularly funny.
-

I agree- he did the sprint contest when he said he could outrun a world class sprinter. ::) He got nailed pretty hard on that one...but most BBers wouldn't even get off the starting line; to give Kevin some credit.
I don't think Levrone could currently compete, he'd have to get back on his shit to do something.

i second that. Even the biggest of the big and most famous bodybuilders are very much unknown and if a mainstream shot like this comes along no matter how big they are they would be stupid not to take it!!

You also trained for that. Do you honestly think Cormier practiced doing chins? He prolly woke up 15min before he did that.

any bodybuilder worth his weight does pullups once a week sometime during a back workout...

Lmao. Bullshit. Those lazy fucks do pullDOWNS, especially the heavy dudes.
What an ignorant comment.
Ronnie and Dorian I don't recall having ever seen them do 1 pullup, ever.
-

yep. I only see skinny guys doing chin-ups. About a 1/3 of those are tappouters. :-\
BTW, is it true that chin-ups separate the ligaments in your back? Arnold said that in his book.
-
The only BBers who would have half a chance on that show would be big dudes like Freeman, Q.T.
Levrone and Cormier would get knocked around, they aren't big enough people
-

thats kinda my point...its not an ignorant statement, theyre tooooooo lazy to do them.
as far as ronnie and dorian are concerned, ive never worked out with them on back day....im not sure what they do :-\

groink...how tall is cormier? actual height, not "FLEX" height...LOL
-
off course you guys dont know the chin up MASTER!!!11!!
-

My point was that who cares if they are too lazy to do them. Not doing them has not held either one of them back.
-
off course you guys dont know the chin up MASTER!!!11!!
In the words of Joe Rogan "that is CRAZZZZY"
-
I thought the burpies were very funny made me laugh HAHAHA but Chris Cormer doing 28 chins in 20 seconds that was very impreassive.I hope Chris Cormer makes the cut.
-
where in the world do you guys get 28 reps...I see maybe 10 decent reps and the rest is pathetic...
And most pros don't do pullups not because they are lazy, its because they can't do them...
-
I thought it said he was at 280..He looks out of shape for 250--that is is comp weight.
Cormier didn't look anywere close to 250 at the montreal pro, ane he was standing 3 feets from me
I'd say he competed at 230 MAX last year
-
Abiad is 240 there
Cormier is 225-230, no more

Chin-ups are something that most pros over 240 have to give up but Chris is a strong dude from what I have heard.
-
What is that? A rip off of Ghetto Nigg@s workout?
And in all fairness I would have counted the last 5 ::)
AND IT IS OUR RESIDENT WHITE TRASH THAT CHIMES IN AFTER REMOVING THE PILLOW CASE FROM OFF OF HIS HEAD.
NO NEED HATING....YOU'RE JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PULL UP AT ALL LET ALONE DO 21. ?

JOJ is owning that shot!
