Has Cook ever admitted in any interviews why he chose to do such a long layoff ater turning pro? Everyone needs to rest, and there were rumors of health issues, but has he ever made any official statements on why he took so much time off? his three placings since then have been bottom third at each show, and while he has some great genetics, he hasn't been able to get into shape yet.240, stop making fun of Chris because it's making me jealous and according to Naked4Jesus jealousy is a sin.
So what's the good word? Has he ever spoken on it?

Mark what was the longest layoff from training you ever had since you started ???I think I had the flu for 4 days once ??? I have OCD when it comes to training so I almost never miss a workout.

Yes. Cook did a guest appearance out of shape. About a minute after the boards got these pics, his check was mailed back to the promoter.

Knowing Chris, he would have never stepped on stage looking like that unless he was in a position where he felt he had to ( contract, ect).
Forget whether he ended up collecting money or not. Just for walking on stage like this, he deserves the kind of brutal savage ridicule that only Internet cowards like myself can dish out.

just because you qualify to be a Pro, does not necesarily mean your ready to compete against the other Pro's
Tell it to that runt who won the bantamweight division at the Nationals. He's ready to take his 150 pounds of shredded beef to the Arnold.
I know I typically start threads with nefarious motives... but this one I meant- why did he take 8 months off training right after turning pro? He does a few photoshoots, gets a weider deal, then just stops trianing? it makes no sense. I like his shape/size and do think he could be top 10 O with 2 years of magic, ala Vic M. But I am curious about why he took such a long break at such a time.
I didn't know he declined the check that day- i read on getbig that he 'sent it back' so that it my mistake then.
fair enough, what is the timeline? how many shows were under his belt before he took 8 months off? more importantly, why would a guy with a new weider contract and (we're now hearing) in talks with other supp cos decide to just not touch a weight for 8 months?
He is a pro Bber. What else did he do for those 8 months? I'm not flaming him, I am just curious. You hear about guys all the time who turn pro then take a break to bulk up, etc. But he devotes his entire life (even living in a car at one point) to becoming a pro Bber, reaches this goal, then decides to just stop lifting? Weird.
I mean the guy can take 8 months off if he wants to.
Thanks Jack. Good luck in the NOC, bro!Hey Mark! How have you been?
