TA, I presume you're not experiencing the same level of distance toward his death, as you did DA's.

Speak on this. :)

Post by: Fortress on December 15, 2013, 05:57:55 PM: I spoke with Chris weekly when I was an editor at MuscleMag, as I was in "charge" of putting his column together. Real friendly and helpful guy.

This is horrible news. :(

I remember his columns...they were great.

Post by: bigbadwolfe on December 15, 2013, 06:28:38 PM: Damn! He was one of my idols when I first started out. I remember he answered one of my questions in his Musclemag column about my bench. At that time he told me I needed to open a hardcore gym since we did not have any in the area. It only took me 18 years to take his advice. He was a great guy and an awesome bencher!!!

23 minutes in or so. This video has him, Inzer, Lain, and a bunch of older lifters. This fellow's channel also has a lot of Power meets from the mid 80's - 90's -
