Yea ask Beefy aka Tom Prince what he thinks about Chris...-A DUB
now that a couple of years have past, and chris might be able to separate himself from any residual negative emotions he might harbor, and look at his situation objectivelythat might be a VERY interesting interview on PBW**although that will never happen because your sponsors do not want any subject matter addressed that is a little edgy, and does not fit into the glamorous fairytale of fame, health, and success that supplement companies and magazines create to move productshame though, chris cook might be one of the most interesting interviews in bodybuildingperhaps aaron singerman can check it out, that is, if his show has not fully and entirely sold out yet, and forgone any of their previous, edgy content
Chris was a very good bodybuilder with outstanding work ethic.....very commited.Basically, he became disenchanted with the business side of BB when the deal with his supp company/ MD went south...He re-evaluated what his future was and came to the conclusion that he needed more security for himself and his family.He is currently working in the financial industry and went back to college part time to further his knowledge.....he dabbled in MMA as a hobby, to replace the athletic drive he had for competition/ ...Just had their second child not too long ago...
Chris looked AWESOME WHEN HE WAS ON POINT! But yeah he sorta fell off.And didn't it take him forever to turn pro, just kept getting raped by the judges!
The problem was, he was never really on point, he was another one that was "given" a pro card. Even when he won he was soft...He had great shape, and I think Flex had trained him for a lil bit, but dude never, and I mean never dailed it in.
I think he just needed more muscle maturity, he was still only in his 20's. Or maybe he couldn't get totally ripped not everyone can be Munzer.
I would love to have Chris on the show (assuming he's interested)... But how do I get in touch with him? Chick?
you should do some homework, you have to know someone the industry that can point in the direction of getting in touch with him.i cannot think of someone involved with bodybuilding that would be a more interesting interview then chris........in a very short span of time, he went from the industries new "it" boy to a disgruntled retired competitor who appears to have turned his back on the BB world entirely
I'm trying. Email sent... FB message sent. Hopefully Chris isn't another Greg Kovacs (doesn't want to be found or interviewed). (What did you think of the Rhaine [Lee] Priest interview?)
Tom Prince is not Beefyheavyweight... in case most of you forgot, Beefy dropped the dime on Tom and the infamous paper bag fiasco, and him ripping off people in Minnesota...promising them Russian D-Bol, taking their $$$ and running.
He started buying his gear and GH from palumbo and the 2nd pic is the result
what was wrong with his GH, look at how well it worked for him, and how youthful he looks in this picturemind you, this pic was taken in 2002 when he was still in his mid 30s this is before he started gettign plastic surgery, he looks 60 years old here
Why is Palumbo so hard to look at?
Because he's not wearing a paper bag over his head?

link please?
Chris Cook actually did deserve his pro card and could have been an exceptional professional bodybuilder. I helped him for two shows including when he won his pro card. Here's a pic from the Ntionals when he won. In fact, I sat next to Victor martinez who I was also helping in the day, and when Chris came out, I recall Victor saying "shows over" Not that Vic's opinion is the be all and all. But in my eyes, he killed the class...c aceto
