After this question, came the complicated one by @James.caroll.13 who asked, “What’s Chris’s most significant failure in becoming who he is today?” The IFBB pro gave a short laugh and said, “I think coming second at the Olympia, for the second time. I had a lot of reasons to be second.” He also explained, “It made me realize how life is gonna always throw sh** at you, and you can’t let that be an excuse. You have to get to work no matter what’s coming your way…” In the past, Chris has consistently displayed his humility, which he once again demonstrated with this answer.
