Hard to believe the potential of Cormier will end up reitiring without ever winning the Arnold or Olympia. Is he the best to never win at least one of those 2 shows?

Priest, Levrone,

I think Levrone won the Arnold at least once. I think Cormier was 2nd at the Arnold like a hundred times. $:-\$

Priest, Levrone,

Levrone did win it, in 94, 96, and should have won in 98 but lost to Nasser- won the most muscular though!

http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?s=Kevin+Levrone&g=M

Priest never won it, and shouldn't have- especially with guys like Cormier competing. Their structure is completely different. Torso lengths, the V-taper/X-Frame look etc.... Priest is nowhere near the BBer Cormier is....when both at their peaks. More entertaining Priest is on the boards- that's for sure.

It is a shame that Chris never won one of the bigger contests.
I still think he should have won in 2000, but he lost to Flex when he'd won the Ironman a week earlier against the same Flex.

Cormier was robbed at the 2004 Olympia for sure, Jay looked awful and was given the title because he was the defending champ going for the Olympia title.
Dexter should of defeated Jay aswell, considering he beat him in the GNC's where Jay looked better than he did than the AC.

IFBB contests= Politics

Questions for Chris

Chris was supposed to be competing in the NY Pro? What happened? Why does he keep backing out of contests? If Chris put some serious concentration into his training, he could of won the NY Pro next weekened.

Has Chris thought seriously what he would like to do after he stops competing in the IFBB?

Does he want to write a book with his stories? Does he want to talk about his Automotive Magazine Collection?

How did it feel trying to participate in the Amercan Gladiators tryouts.

Is it much harder getting ready for a contest this year than he was before he was younger? What has changed?

Will Chris Cormier ever settle down or is he still enjoy life around the globe trotting around.

What positive things have you given to the sport of bodybuilding? What about negative things?

If you could go back 5 years, what would you have done differently?

How is your health after spending three months in the hospital for a staph infection?

unless he can magically replace his right tri, he's got no shot at placing well

Melvin Anthony tore his tri prior to the 2006 Olympia (it was like in 2005). He did excellent in 2006. Levrone tore his tri as well, he came back and did well. I guess it depends on how torn the muscle is.

Chris looks like he tore it from the tendon and it has not been fixed.

Depends if you have surgery to reattach also....the sooner the better after injury as tendon/muscle atrophy and cannot be correctly/aesthetically attached.....(Platz should have had surgery IMMEDIATELY on his arm years ago and rehabbed and it may have saved his career...)....Cormiers arm has been a mess for quite some time.....
