I never noticed how much muscle he really had back in the day...

Uncrowned Mr. Olympia 1999

Nasser = Uncrowned Mr Olympia between 1965-2010. Although Nasser was not competing in the 60's, 70's and 80's, he still should have won the Mr. Olympia. ::)

Noone dominated the world like Nasser in the past 4-5 decades.

Chris had a great physique and deserved at least 2 Arnolds
-
More complete than his contemporaries however didn't posses that wow or freaky factor ::), not short, had calves, no gut some of the best abs in the day (better than Dorian,Ronnie and Cutler's abs), his quads made up for lack of sheer quantity with almost near perfect lines and cuts, his back was top five in a HEAVY field of competitors, chest shoulders and arms were all in porportion not much more you want to take or give to make it balanced but just makes you think how sick Ronnie, Levrone and Flex were back in the day. I always think that he shitted on cutler ...fuggin robbery.

Check out Markus Ruhl in the background! :o

Cormier was one of the best, his time is pretty much done.
-
For all the "lazy" accusations that get thrown around about him, Cormier was very strong in the gym. There are some videos of him lifting pretty heavy.
-
Always one of my favourites I think he had better balance than Coleman (and Dorian) but perhaps missed the wow factor.

Uncrowned Mr. Olympia 1999
Cormier was great in 1999, but Coleman crushed everyone.
-
Cormier could have been an Olympia winner. Too bad. He's a cool as dude though. The guy that sold me my car is best friends with him. I didn't believe him till he pulled out his phone and called Chris on speed dial and I spoke to him myself. lol.

It was probably cool to Chris as well. That someone out of the blue, knew who he was was or followed bbing.
pics of the CC v Jay Cutler need to be posted.

Chris got fucked. He should have beaten Jay the year Jay came in all stringy looking like shit. Other times also.

He should have beaten Jay all three times at the Arnold.

I would kill to have a body like that...no homo.

gh15 had a great physique, though conditioning could have been better

I agree he had an amazing build in a time when people where looking for freaks the Ronnie style build.
I think he would have done very well with that shape build in the late 80s early 90s

He had the type of physique one could visually keep adding muscle to and it would still look proportional...and that may have been his undoing...physique wise that is.

Nope. Sorry to say but as good as Chris was, Flex Wheeler out muscled him head to toe and was that much better.
-
These days he looks like he is in decent shape, but he also looks FUUUUCCKKED up on shit all the time. I think he's a fan of the Oxy and X and Vic and alcohol. Still manages though, he must be a fan of GH and Clen and T-3 too.
Hell of a deal. The "REAL" deal... ;D

He looks old, and he has those dark spots around his eyes that black folk who had a hard life usually get.

chris cormier is probably the most consistent pro, next to shawn ray.
The guy has never been out of the top 10 @ the olympia
he has the best seperation in the quads, along with milos
he is still looking awesome these days.......i would put him way ahead of cutler..... coleman......nasser....e tc
he is a very capable poser as well......great transitions.....smooth and fluid
he is the real deal and for people to say he is all done.......is just plain ludicrous......the man would come back and kick ass......if he got focused and worked with charles glass again or if he moved to england and worked with dorian for a solid year.......his shape and conditioning along with his mass......would be too much for the other guys to handle......jay and company have gone way overboard on the size......no aesthetics anymore. imho

how can you put a guy with fake calves ahead of Cormier?
-

How can you be so sure they're fake? Did you personally run tests on Wheeler? Reality check. ALL pro's use synthol.
-

Maybe because back when he had it, you were between 4 and 10 years old ::)

No he didn't. Flex had tiny quads. Tiny pecs. Tiny traps and Synthol arms in the late 1990's. They were the same height (5'9") and Cormier outweighed him by a good 30 pounds. Cormier had more overall mass than Flex.
-
Chris was incredible. One of the all time greats, very friendly and down to earth guy and very good to his fans. Party animal, I partied all night with him in 2005 after he came 2nd to Lee Priest in teh Aussie Pro show. One of the best nights of my life.

He's in his 40's now. Easier said than done. He will not resemble the Cormier from 1999. Not even close. Same thing goes for Levrone, Ray, Coleman and Dillet. They are past their primes.

You're gettin a little crazy here sir.

Chris was most of the time out of top-5 and placing 6-8 usually at the Olympia. Shawn Ray on the other hand was top-5 twelve times.
Chris had potential but couldn't nail it at the O. His best achievement was beating Kevin and Shawn(and Nasser) at the 99 Olympia which was the toughest line-up in my opinion ever. I remember Chris talking about it at the Flex magazine "I'm finally gonna beat those guys" and he did.

I actually got to see Chris Cormier in 1999 in Cancun (I went for my graduation trip) partying at a club "Cats"...he was all wasted, dancing without shirt, and surrounded by some girls...My friend saw him first and pointed me to him, never before had I seen anybody with any significant amount of muscle, yet alone a bodybuilder. I was absolutely perplexed at how tiny his waist looked in proportion to his upper body (traps, shoulders, chest)...it looked alomost cartoonish unreal. I couldn't stop staring (no homo)...

One of the greats for sure, just seeing him lately is sad aging is a bitch.

Yes, muscle weighs more than synthol.

Chris was one of the best no question about that and should had won atleast one arnold... I think he was better than Flex or Shawn but Ronnie, Dorian and Kevin were better than him (in my opinion)...
BTW. Wasn't the 99 Mr. Olympia the one were Paul Dillett allmost died because of insulin?

You must have jizzed in your pants considering his is a brother that had made it more than you.. hahahahahahahaha
I know a dude that knows Cormier... He said Cormier was the laziest bodybuilder they had around. He wanted all the fame and fortune but didn't want to work at it like others.
-
he should have won in 1999, no doubt about it
-

That type of thing is largely genetic and doesn't necessarily have to do with a "hard life."
Cormier is a major tool.

nah cromier was cool and all but he had some structural flaws in his body, long torso, weird muscle bellys etc.
