His shape is awesome for a big man. All he needs is an added 10lbs of muscle over his 2005 NY Pro physique combined with a drop of 4-5lbs of fat. He will Look bigger and better than Cormier. His frame is wider and can carry more muscle than Cormier. Chris has better balance than Mustaffa or Branch Warren. He can stand next to dennis James and not look small.

I think only Dexter and Gustavo will beat him!

Good Luck Chris!

He CAN be, but he won't be. He has a lot of potential if he can thicken up his back, chest and abs, but he's never truly peaked for a contest in his life. He's always water logged or flat. I wouldn't bet on him doing it this year or maybe ever, and even if he did it for the Arnold he would get overlooked. There are too many quality physiques who've paid their dues.

Jay Cutler proved in 2001 that the top names can be beaten if a 260lb physique comes in ripped.

True. And that's a good comparison, because I think Cook has the same difficulty Jay does in getting shredded. Jay's overcome it as best he can. Cook hasn't figure it out yet. Maybe he will. I would bet against him doing it this year, but I agree he has a lot of potential.

Chris Cook will never be in the top 3 in all but the weak shows to think otherwise your living in LA LA land.

Chris Cook seems like a pretty sharp guy, so i don't see him wasting his time with pro BBing for very long.

he looks OK by himself...However, he's very skinny in comparison to the other pro's in a line-up..

Show has way too much depth, dude needs a few more years before cracking the top 3 in this line up. $:-\$

No he could be top 3 if only 3 guys are in it.

Bast000 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2006, 12:39:49 PM »

He'll get his ass handed to him at the AC, and his stomach is already overgrown at his young age $:-\$

Shawn before the 2001 Olympia where did you have Jay Cutler placing? Before the 2002 Olympia where did you have Gunter placing? Before the 2004 Olympia where did you have Gustavo placing?

He won't place top 3 in any contest this year, wanna bet?

Chris Cook can be top 3 at the Arnold Classic!

Glad to see Chris is so well liked by his fellow pros.

Chris has a good body, but his neck and head look to small.

hillbilly · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2006, 06:29:22 PM »

I dont think cook has the potential to be abetter bodybuilder than cormier he probly can carry more muscle but his shape (although not bad) is not in the same league as cormier. As for a top 3 at the arnold NO CHANCE not this year!
