He's up there, for sure. More complete than his buddy Flex. He reminded me of a taller Shawn Ray, only with better lines. Yes, BETTER lines: Shawn was amazing, but his legs were too short and his quads looked blocky as hell. All Chris really needed to do was come in super-ripped, which he probably never did -- but to his credit, he did come close a few times; e.g., the '99 Olympia and at least one of the ASC shows he should've won against Cutler and/or Dexter.

Good bb but there was nothing all that special about his physique.....nothin stood out is what I mean. So if you like balance he was that in spades.

Became in second to Jay at the Arnold one year where I thought he should've won.

Exactly right and I never enjoyed real bb LOL....not into balance, symmetry and all that. I liked the bbs with freaky arms, freaky legs, freaky back.....

Bob Paris and Frank Zane......great bbs but never held my attention. But man were they real bbs!!

I don`t even think there was anything balanced about his physique. He is extremely narrow and had nothing memorable about him at all.

I like Coleman....much freakier quads in this shot and looks more shredded. Second guy looks great too. He has freaky lookin shoulders and forearms so that's good. but his waist looks small so he probably attempts vacuum poses here and there.

BBs that try vacuum poses are not my thing......I don't care how small your waist can get I care how freaky big your bodyparts can get. Shawn Ray, Tony Pearson, Brian Buchanan....great bbs, not my preference.
