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

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.

but 9 outta 10 times on getbig people only talk about weight and never bodyfats or height

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.

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.

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.

Post by: flexingtonsteele on February 08, 2008, 11:46:30 AM
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??

Post by: sculpture on February 08, 2008, 12:18:25 PM
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....

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.
