Author Topic: Chris Cook taking 8 months off training after truning pro (Read 7107 times)

Has Cook ever admitted in any interviews why he chose to do such a long layoff ater turning pro? Everyone needs to rest, and there were rumors of health issues, but has he ever made any official statements on why he took so much time off? his three placings since then have been bottom third at each show, and while he has some great genetics, he hasn't been able to get into shape yet.

So what's the good word? Has he ever spoken on it?

He needed time to chisel out this brutal physique.

Is that really him?

Yes. Cook did a guest appearance out of shape. About a minute after the boards got these pics, his check was mailed back to the promoter.

good he should not be paid to look like that.

I would not pay to see somone look like that.

I remember the first time I saw Chris Cook. I saw potential. However, I thought he needed more muscle maturity. Next thing you know (or at least so it seemed) he turned pro. I'm not sure he was ready for the pros......

240, stop making fun of Chris because it's making me jealous and according to Naked4Jesus jealousy is a sin.

I think I had the flu for 4 days once

I have OCD when it comes to training so I almost never miss a workout.

No. Seems like you are lying to make Cook look bad.

From what I understand, Cook declined being paid at all.

It was never a matter about the pics getting on internet boards.

Cook just felt he didn't perform well.

He clearly has flat feet in that picture, if you had given him orthotics he would have looked much better.

Like Tamali and Chick say, its' all an illusion!

Has Beens · « **Reply #23 on:** June 20, 2006, 03:31:10 PM »

Knowing Chris, he would have never stepped on stage looking like that unless he was in a position where he felt he had to ( contract, ect).

ribonucleic · « **Reply #24 on:** June 20, 2006, 03:34:48 PM »

Forget whether he ended up collecting money or not. Just for walking on stage like this, he deserves the kind of brutal savage ridicule that only Internet cowards like myself can dish out.
