The same Cormier that was coming off of a injury? Not the same Cormier from the early 2000's.

Now, what if Kai is on, like a fire, like he was at the Arnold? And even I thought it was a gossip between the two...

Check out this Cormier Interview from the Arnold.....

He's pretty forthright in his declaration of being "the hardest trainer Venice Gold's ever saw"

500lb inclines for 4 reps, 700lb squats.

He's now trying his hand at training athletes and bodybuilders

Apperently Kai no longer works with Oscar, he now works with George Farah. This is much better as George knows how to bring people in shape.

phil beat jay in pre-judging at the O i'm sure you would agree but Chick's 2nd night rule kicked in so they had to place Jay 1st because he couldn't make up the ground on phil. That being said...phil has caught up to Jay, will be improved again this yr. Phil is their glamor boy MrO probably followed by Evan who is yrs off from catching up to phil.

Kai is a fat piece of shit, cant hold the weight at his height to beat jay, and now, phil has caught him too and will continue to improve based on age as kai and jay decline.

people are doing crack if they think the IFBB will pass on a sure thing with phil as MrO for a couple of yrs followed by Kluco or Evan or some star we havent seen yet.

Kai is like Flex Wheeler. they'll give him all the Arnolds he wants until he loses body parts but he'll never win the O.

Branch will win before kai beats phil for MrO and MetroPlex will be the new mecca.

You mean Metroflex

Kuclo also trains at metroflex as well, but not the Arlington one, the Plano/dallas one.

So TX bbers representing big time

Golds venice will always be the mecca of bodybuilding...always.

Ron · « **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2011, 10:38:34 PM »

Gold's Venice is always the Mecca of Bodybuilding - end of story.

Bev Francis' Powerhouse Gym is becoming the East Coasst premier training facility for bodybuilders.

And the MetroPlex Gyms - hardcore! We had a photoshoot in them.

These gyms cater to the hardcore bodybuilders which is cool.

Of course, Jay Cutler train's in Gold's in Vegas....

Hope this helps!

Why would anyone want to train at MetroPlex? It's a shithole. If your into men grunting, spitting on the floor and flem in the sinks then I guess it's okay.

ACT/BE/STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that's exactly why one should train there...the atmosphere lends to a seriousness---same with Dorian's gym. No real distractions, like LA, Vegas, or even NYC.

What does this mean? No Champs from there? Kevin English is the 202 Mr. Olympia and also manages the gym. Kai trains there regularly, as does just about every other champion when they are in town.

i guess he means no trainers like glass and dobson...or maybe it's just his personal opinion of the "champions" you mentioned

No, Mr. O winners. Sure there are Arnold Classic winners, like Kai and Vic, and Kevin's 202, but aside from those, nothing...usually the unheard of places with less "distractions" produce the champs.

who the fuck cares about 202? bikini O is more prestigious.

that's not kai main gym! he just started there when your buddy palumbo started calling it mecca east. it's slumberger's gym and the trolls in the ifbb are pushing it. mecca east?

i'm assuming that ryan is commenting about TX. kluco will be mr o befoe kai.

yeah...slumberger is a heavy weight trainer.

next thing DAD of the FAT SON will make it a mandate to train there in the NPC or you dont win a show.

sorry getbiggers...i went off there, kind of lost it. ok...where was i? which gym is the current mecca? i'm thinking metro if branch downs jay and kluco becomes the champ i think he will become.
