Yes sir, Justin coached him that year
I'm guessing most would think he was on grams of gear, but he is a prime example of great genetics and not needing more, or rather overkill, to get to this type of stage shape and size. I can't remember what his test dosage was, it way not close to a gram per week though. However, in addition to test, he was only taking 50-75mg EOD of tren ace + 50mg/d of winstrol (oral) at the peak.
Imagine having this type of look and frame and to get chewed up from somebody like Phil Heath? Another one of his friends, one who I knew well as also, competed in just a state show, one in Pittsburgh or NJ, I can't remember, and he too had sick genetics, but then got beat by Ben White who just decided to show up there to do the show, lol.
There are levels to this (as you know for sure). You have guys with sick genetics in every way possible who you would think could dominate, then you have guys like Phil Heath et al who are just from another stratosphere and put everybody to shame not knowing much at all about anything from diet, training and drug use.
Chris used to post at AFboard under the name "pert." Guy was one of the nicest people out there, and very humble. A lot of the guys he lifted with were all powerlifters, along with a few BB's as well in there. They had a really good thing going back then.
