Team Universe Champ - Chris Faildo Photoshoot
« on: July 15, 2007, 09:23:33 AM »
I caught up with Chris right after his shoot for the NPC NEWS Magazine cover. We hit the gym for some training shots. A few from this morning's shoot. Chris is a super nice guy, one of the most cordial, humble people I've met in the industry. Very gracious guy who had the biggest cheering section all the way from Hawaii. Everyone in his group was super friendly as well. Congrats on a well deserved victory.

He looked sic this morning!

Hope he goes pro, even if he doesn't compete.  It's a status symbol & he can raise his rates as a trainer if he does.

Chris is 100% natural, he is on MET-RX and Sopharma Tribestan (for about 10 years).

They need to bring back weight classes in the IFBB so that there is a reason for guys like this to compete.

Not gonna argue with people whether Chris is natural or not, but I will say this.  I have trained with him on two different contest preparations, and during those twelve weeks, NO ONE is more systematic with cardio, food weighing (pre and post), packing of food, eating of food, time of taking supplements, amount of fluids and when than Chris.  There have been many a training partner that he burns out (I am one), and in some cases, feelings get hurt, and people are on strained relations.  NONE of these former partners, whether they be Chauncy Murakami, Harold Han, Jason Iyomasa, Niko Lakatani, have said they have seen, saw, or knew that Chris took gear.  He has passed drug testing toooooo many times to count.  That is enough for me.  TTT for the OVERALL champ and an all around great guy.  I am sure Debbie will be glad the dieting will be over soon.

Why no comments yet on "monster weights" used for most likely kickbacks by Chris or does that only apply to Milos' clients?

The guy trains HEAVY in the off season, and works out with mostly powerlifters during the "size" phase of his training.  Pre-contest, he only does high reps with little to no rest in between sets.

It all depends on how well they do in the drug test.  I think Americans are great with a lot of drugs but when it comes to the drug test they fall behind
