Money?  Look at the size of that refrigerator.  It seems he has a nice kitchen.  He's probably doing okay.

He even lost his jaw!  If you are smart it is a short ride.  He has a family to live for; good for him. :)

Good for him, judging from the kids and the kitchen he's doing well, and is happy. Also, he lost the pro look, but if you saw him in the street, you'd say that was a fit guy who lifts. He didn't turn into a mess of fat or skinny fat like some do.

how do you know those aren’t his nieces and that’s his siblings house? How do you know he doesn’t live in a trailer somewhere?

Alright, fair point. But their isn't much denying that he looks better than perhaps half the old bodybuilding stars that pop up here. And I don't recall any outlandish stories about him over the years. The worst I remember is a few bad guest posings.

You don't. As best as I know, Chris Cook retired in 2006 after a 10 year career in bodybuilding. He became a pro in 2003, after which his placings were unremarkable. Crish is 41 years old and married with children. He has a successful career in the financial industry. He lives in Southern California.

But, that could just be all hype and maybe he isn't doing well at all, just as you suggested. What you choose to believe is up to you.

There's no need to explain the mindset of an athlete (or 'athlete'), but it's a dead end road (i.e. Ronnie Coleman, Dallas McCarver and a ton of others)

so whats your plan, putting your postcount on a msg board in a time capsule hoping it will live forever? maybe generations from now, people will be able to extract your ramblings about transsexuals and all other shit you post and try to make sense of it

There's absolutely no need to make sense out of my postings, but feel free to try :D

Oh, and read your own post again; It's quite ironic that you use the term 'ramblings'.

Post by: Earl1972 on June 25, 2018, 04:40:44 PM
he wisely stopped because he wasn't placing well

most of the elite guys are elite immediately, ronnie is the exception but he was at least qualifying for the olympia every year

no point in competing if you aren't a potential O winner

That's Andy Haman, they both had a similar "blond hope" thing going on, but Haman's schtick was bring a fit older guy.

He's been dead a few years, heart attack. He went a bit after Atwood.

I have to agree ...although bodybuilding is possibly the only activity where everyone is happy for you when you quit ...


Quitting Drug dealing before getting caught its pretty similar btw .

wasnt Duval the one who tried wrestling? or am i thinking of someone else? I met Duval at a gym here in Hawaii, he wasnt working out or anything just relaxing at the juice bar, nice guy, really down to earth, sad to hear.

Looks good. Holding extra bodyweight is uncomfortable, why hold more than he needs to? He's probably in better shape than 99.9% of American men of any age.

If he was still juicing and chasing the dream he'd get attacked by dickheads here too.

I doubt poor placings was what made him quit ..... One thing is hanging the thongs  ,  but stopping steroids for good?  ..... It's quiet rare in this " sport "

That is very strange...usually the angularity of your facial features are due to the bones in your face rather than muscular development.
