Title: Chris Cormier - what's he up to?
Post by: LurkerNoMore on January 04, 2014, 10:16:14 AM
He is one (if not the only) of the 90s greats that doesn't seem to have a supplement line with his name on it, a "classic" contest under his name, or online personal training service he pushes.    Seems like everyone else tried to break into the industry after they hung up the thongs.  Hell, even Flex tried his hand at a supp line (or TRT or some shit like that with his name attached to it) before sticking with his photography.

Cormier knows what it takes to make a decent local bodybuilder into a high state level competitor, and maybe a top national guy, if they have the right genetics.

That knowledge can save competitors years of trial & error.  And it can save their lives, if they choose to get into the harder stuff.

I just spoke to him and he is doing great. Bunch of clients at Gold's Venice and back and forth to China doing training camps there.

For those that don't know Chris, he is a great trainer and trains his guys to have an aesthetic look, no gut, good symmetry and balance. He knows the game better than most and can save you years of stuffing up.

His Mum recently past and he was spending a lot of time in Palm Springs taking care of her and his Dad.

Chris is probably the best guy I met in Pro bodybuilding, doesn't take himself too seriously and has always had time for everyone.

Chris Cormier is a world renowned expert in bodybuilding training and tactics. His families ancestry in physical culture can be traced back over 5 generations! But it is not just his Cormier lineage that makes him a true virtuosoin the cult of the body.

From the age of 3,Master Chris had a facination with muscle men. As a child of 6 years old,he had begun to experiment with dumbbells. He was already familiar with both the diet and nutrition intricacies that different methodologies produced. By the age of 12, he was already training and engaging in competitions with,at that time were considered the world's leading physical culturists. AT AGE 15,CHRIS HAD ALREADY TESTED HIS TRAINING IN NUMEROUS HOTEL ROOM CONFRONTATIONS! And, was teaching many highly experienced athletes more than twice his age. It wasin his late teens that he felt the need to bring his families lineage,and his own expertise to an even higher level . HE THEN CONSULTED WITH HIS UNCLE, A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED SECURITY CONSULTANT IN SIERRA LEONE,WHO IS ALSO KNOWN AS ONE OF THE WORLDS LEADING EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF SECURITY.FROM THAT POINT ON CORMIERS LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER.AS AN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY OPERATIVE,HIS LIFE AND IDENTITY WERE CONCEALED EVEN FROM HIS OWN FAMILY.FOR MANY YEARS NO ONE KNEW HIS WHEREABOUTS OR OBJECTIVES.IN FACT, MANY PEOPLE DOUBTED HIS EXISTANCE AND BELIEVED HE WAS KILLED IN A FOREIGN MILITARY OPERATION.

While I don't think that you're full of shit, how sure can you be of said information if it is merely hearsay from some "European" pro?

If it is indeed true, I know that Chris' past was filled with many activities that would surely place him at risk of contracting HIV.

On a personal level, the guy was always a very nice guy and was always up for partying as best as I can remember.
