Only One In The Room

Chris Cormier Is The Only One Who Is The Real Deal Episode 43


Listen Later

In the beginning, he was a shy, skinny kid who joined the wrestling team at his Palm Springs high school and then surprised everyone by switching gears and entering into the world bodybuilding at age 17.

American bodybuilder, Chris, “the real deal” Cormier, dedicated all of his time to his craft and was named first runner-up a record 6 times at the prestigious Arnold Classic. And at the peak of his career, Cormier was said to be well on his way to achieving the ultimate prize -- the coveted Mr. Olympia title.

But what if one day, an unforeseen hospitalization threatened your life and consequently derailed your quest for the title for which you’ve worked since 1983? Would you throw in the towel and start a new career at the age when most of your peers were thinking about retirement? Or would you decide to switch gears and guide someone else toward that elusive prize, the one which had always remained, just out of your reach?
