BRITISH INVASION/TEMPLE TRAINING
Fully Clothed in the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic pump-up, Chiris Cormier admitted it felt odd not flexing onstage this year, but after finishing second in the previous six Anolds, it was time for someone else to be bridesmaid. He plans to next enter the IFBB Atlantic City Pro on September 23, qualify there and then enter the MrOlympia on September 30. With those two shows, Cormier will equal Milos Sarcev's 72 IFBB pro contest appearances, but this year, Cormier's adding a new twist to the old story.
Cormier plans to spend from June to September in England (alternating between London and Birmingham), training under the tutelage of six times Mr Olympia Dorian Yates.
I'll do whatever he says I have to, Cormier states, "I'm just trying to get out of my physique everything it has. If I'm at my best, I can beat Ronnie Coleman.
We've seen other people at their best, and they can't beat him, but me and Dorian think I'm the one guy who can. I want to be totally rested and excited about training and preparing .I want to get that spark back like when I won the 1993 USA and 1997 Night of the Champions. I was super excited about what I was doing every day, and I want to get back to that." If he avoids England's pubs and clubs, and he adopts the spartan Temple Gym ethos of the Shadow in his prime, the Real Deal could deal out some real damage to the hopes of any competitor who thinks Cormier's best days are behind him.
