Arnold Classic? No. Olympia? No. He was great but wasted it in recent years blaming everyone else in the process. Maybe he should have put down the pipe and trained harder and dieted better.
CHRIS IS DOING FINE.WHY DO PEOPLE JUST JUMP ON YOUR BAND WAGON WHEN YOUR ON TOP AND THEN RUBBISH YOU WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A BAD SPOT.CHRIS HAS A GREAT COMPETITION RECORD I AM SURE HE WILL BE BACK TO HIS OLD SELF SOON......SO JUST WAIT.
I’m not taking anything away from his incredible physique and conditioning, because the guy is/was tops.
And I couldn’t care less what he injects, smokes or snorts offstage.
Bottom line:
Come contest time, the man is phenomenal.
But it seems that anytime he places lower than he feels he deserves, he ALWAYS has some excuse that never includes anything like, “My timing was off,” or “I came in too flat or smooth.”
Like when Lee won the ’05 Aussie Grand Prix…
Read these excerpts:
Chirs Cormier
Muscular Development
Volume 42, Number 7
July, 2005
p. 373"A Cluster-f*ck in Australia"“…the show this year was a joke.
So who ended up being the head judge? A woman who has only been to seven pro shows in her life. And did I mention that the entire judging panel was Australian?
Lee had a huge sentimental advantage, making his big homecoming after all these years.
As for how he beat me, there is just no way to justify it. Granted, he was in excellent condition, but he has so many flaws.
Another thing about the judging panel. One judge on it was a racist pig. I know because he used the “N” word many times.
I won’t be returning to that show again, and without me, it will be a weaker show…”There’s a whole lot more, but these were the main points, and I think you get the idea.
Somewhere else, too, I read some comments about how Lee had an unfair advantage because he arrived in Australia early and had time to “settle in,” while Chris had to compete just hours after a long plane ride.
Every competitor has outside forces work against them at some point.
Too bad it seems that Mr. Chris “Everything Happens To Me” Cormier is the recipient of CONSTANTLY S HIT TY LUCK.
Because logically, that’s the only reason he ever does poorly (by his standards).
Chris,
You don’t need to make excuses. We your fans know you’re incredible. And like a lot of other top pros, we know you’ve gotten screwed in the placings on occasion. Now stop your bitching!
