Lookin swole in that shot bro, nice work.
Thanks TB and Tombo.................bu
t as you can see in that pic i have wide shoulders (wide clavicle structure whatever you want to call it) but Chris is like "barndoor wide" it was crazy!
such a waste of bodybuilding potential (to be honest with you guys Chris didn't even train hard at all/in the middle of us working out he would go sit at the juice bar and say "i pulled something" or "I'm thrashed dude/I'm done" ...every single workout,you hear about guys who would "just look at a weight and would grow" that' was Chris,it was frustrating to me that i worked twice as hard and he looked twice as good!)
and diet..................Ch
ris ate Wendy's, McDonald's,pizza etc every day (i used to eat like he did and i got soooo fricking fat/while he stayed lean) the day of his show like i said we ate at pizza hut (BEFORE prejudging)
after Chris won his class at "The New Englands" some supplement company used his picture and gave him free
supps",also when we met Victor Richards and Jean Pierre Fux they both asked Chris when his next show was (before he had ever stepped foot on a stage) and pretty much ignored me
i was always playing "catch -up" it was incredibly motivating! (being the low man on the totem pole does have it's advantages ) both Chris and Stan could "rep-out" with 405 lbs on the bar and could do a single with 500 lbs (the whole gym used to stop and watch us bench)
i would put 405 on the bar and come sooo close but not get it (then Chris would hop under it and do 8 reps easy!) frustrating!!!!!!.............it took a long time but i finally got there!
we were all close to 300 lbs and pretty strong (had a blast working in niteclubs with fights etc )
but with guys like Paul DEmayo,Mike Matatrazzo in the gym we were always motivated to be better (we actually used to travel to go to the gyms with these guys for motivation) it was a great time in my life!
i thought we would always be friends/training partners ...........now both of them don't even work out/go to a gym (one is addicted to drugs the other is fat and his wife bosses him around like a lil bitch)
for awhile tho we were "Kings Of The World!"
