No he wasn't.

-
When he was "on" (meaning condition wise he was a good bb Imo)

Dude was all drugs.... not that there is anything wrong with that. ;)

agree,had newman/mendenhall type genetics.didn't have the heart or will to sacrifice in every sense of the word modern bbing in regards prep,usage,it's a long grind to compete on pro curcuit.

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
-
He had all the physical tools to be a good pro. Sadly, it seems he has left the sport

I agree, Mike. Chris could have gone all the way to the top if he'd stuck with it, given his age and frame and all. Such a shame he just faded into oblivion, as far as bodybuilding goes.

According to Beefyheavyweight, Chris Cook was bending over a lot
-
i met him too,good guy
-
I did hear however that chris got screwed by Gamma-O......as do many Pros when dealing with supplement companies....it's amazing that in the BB industry promoters and supp companies can get away with not paying guys.....what other "sport" do you see this?
-
I remember when GetItOnNY was saying what a great and effective product Gamma-O was and generally praising the company :D

I remember seeing him win the USA in Sacramento... wasn't as big as the photos of him here.... yet.

He got 6th in the NY Pro, which I believe was 2005.

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.
-
The contract debacle was no cover up...it was ONE contributing factor along with many others.
Chris has moved on and has become very successful in the investment business. He has security and a future while he works his way up the ladder and is also going to school to further himself in the fiels as well.
-
Oh my :D
Where's your picture! ;D
-
Good rear delt instruction from Chris. Worth a look.
-
Chris Cook is a man who used to have muscles.
-
dude could have been a great pro
but so what, if he makes more money now
I say good for him
-

Very well spoken chap. Good stuff!

Dude was good!
Is this a R.I.P. message or am I missing something?

was that Bay screaming in the background?
-
Chris always came off as being very kind and genuine
I'm glad he's living well
-
wow, great video, best instructional video I have seen.
-
Out of all the pros I have met, Chris was the most articulate and conversational. He's a positive guy and I'm sure he has very good reasons for moving on from bodybuilding. Let's face it, this is a wonderful but very flawed sport...we are all on the fringe of society. Good on Chris for moving onto greener pastures.
-
Van, I dont believe in Gamma O.I know the guy John Naplitano, and he is a nice guy.
He says he alot of independernt studies showing how well his products work.
I am not a fan of Gamma Orazanol, otherwise I would be manufacturing it.
I have read that if the Gamma Orazanol "if" is real it has had some benefits for some athletes.but not much.
Gamma Orazanal is derived from rice.I have never seen a product derived from Rice that raises testosterone, and increase GH levles
