Author Topic: Gamma-O doing great without Cook (Read 73765 times)

Gamma-O President · « **on:** June 20, 2006, 10:05:58 AM »

As the president of Gamma-O I would like to tell you all the Chris Cook Story. Let me start by saying we pay all of our athletes and we have never been unfair to any of them. In fact we just added Phil Baroni and Razor Rob to our stable of winners. No one other then Chris has ever been let go. I like Chris as a person and think he is a great guy. I have no animosity toward him.

Gamma-O and Muscular Development were drawing a contract between us and Chris. MD and Gamma-O never signed the deal yet we at Gamma-O were paying him for the use of his picture until the deal was finalized. When I started this whole thing with Chris he was 230 pounds and has not lifted a weight in 8 months. He sold me on the fact that his body needed the rest and he was going to come back bigger, harder and better then ever before. I saw the fire in his eyes and I believe that he would.

During the course of negotiating he came in dead last 3 shows in a row including the Arnold. I spoke to Chris about his conditioning after the first show (IronMan) and offered to hire the services of John O’reagan who helped me when I was competing as well as some top ranked pros that Chris knew. Chris said he had it under control and then came in soft for every show. I see the potential in Chris and think he will go far in the sport when he learns to dial in. I can not afford to pay someone while they are learning. MD was first to back out then without them we could not afford Chris on our own. We have many athletes on our team and all are getting paid.

This should be interesting. FWIW I think Cook has the structure to be an elite guy, just has to figure out the right mixture.

That seems reasonable. I still believe in Chris though. He just needs more time.

id would buy the product if it had a rhino on the cover

240 is Back · « **Reply #10 on:** June 20, 2006, 10:33:02 AM »

I see a rhino as an aggressive, fearless, almost bulletproof animal that could take down anything in its way.

Really does match the athlete Rhino - www.londonisburning.com, as that guy is massive, a business monster, and his shape is sick... diced 12 weeks out.

Plus they both end in "O". Now show em your "O" face.

So if you fired Chris' fat arse, why is he on the front page still? Not nuf $ to pay your web monkey to take it off?

“This stuff (Gamma-O) is incredible! My workouts are more intense and I can really push myself to the edge. I have gained 8 pounds the first month [on slin, gh and mad roids] and leaned out so I know it is all muscle. Gamma-O is by far the best supplement [aside from the roids and other "suppliments"] I have ever taken. Gamma-O has been the missing ingredient in my training regiment [to loosen my bowels after feeding my face full of no-fiber beef]. I not only use the product, but I am a strong believer in its potential to revolutionize the supplement world [for all the 16 year old geeks who don't know any better],” says Chris Cook.

LOL, that's pretty much spot-on.

Would you say lying about an athlete's contest history to make your case for backing out of a good faith contract "fair?"

This is not a true statement - while Chris' conditioning was a factor in his shows, he was not dead last in all three shows.

On a whole, Atletes are overpaid ...(with bb on the bottom of that totem pole) but in the real world if your ass was paid to be a vp and your handling business like some schome in the mail room, your ass wouldnt make it to lunch much less have three more chances to redeem yourself...Chris Cook sucks, tough shit...BB is your job, and you got caught sleeping on your desk...

Unless there was something in his contract that specified him being paid based on placings - you're a little off on your logic here. Comparing a bodybuilder who competes and places out of the top 5 to a VP isn't quite the same. Now if Chris' contract said you will not be paid your monthly income if you compete and place out of the top 5, then so be it but I highly doubt it.

What about Chris' video footage that Gamma-O still refuses to return to Chris? Was this part of the agreement as well?
