Charles Glass and Chad Nickols

Conan21 · Apr 30, 2004

I was just wondering what is so special about these guys that every one gives them such a HUGE amount of respect.

I understand that chad is a pretty good with nutrition and contest prep

but seems they are made out to be mad scientists or something

What is so unique about charles glass training methods that makes him so widely known?

Mr Pickels · Apr 30, 2004

CG is like 50 i think... he looks incredible... so he practices what he preaches.... that alone is credibility... i respect that

i dunno about CN... i've only seen a few pics of him and he looks kinda fluffy

|--[\\\]>--------- I have had the pleasure of talking to them both. they KNOW THEIR SHIT! why do ppl use them and praise them? b/c everyone they work with always comes in razor sharp, when Nichols does their diets, they always place very high in shows, when glass does their training, they always grow and their lagging body parts are no longer lagging.

those are two damn good reasons as well

I couldn't agree more!

both are great guys with a wealth of knowledge and well worth their weight in gold. I can't say enough good about either of the two guys wyldeone.

they obviously know their shit, cause why would someone pay a lot of money for nonsence? And we see the results every year at the Olympia.
I myself are being trained by a pro here in Holland, here name is A. Timmer. She is great, and i have learbed so much about my own body since i met her i am very thankful to her.
As for the looks of someone, it doesn't reflect someones intelligence or knowledge about what they preach.

Here's a picture of Anja.

well I agree/disagree

I dont think that you have to look like Mr O, in order to "know your shit", but if someone has a shitty physique, poor workout habits and spouts out like they know everything I just look an wonder what mirror they are looking at. However a person with a has a not so pleasent physique, but works out hard, has perfect form, eats right I have alot of respect for, and will listen to what they say and then make my own judgement. I usually say the proof is in the puddin though, but that is just me.

...

Glass is just one of the best trainers I've seen in videos, in reading his thoughts, in seeing the results. He not only knows his shit, he knows how to put it into practice on different individuals.

Don't know too much about Chad, but didn't someone say that the reason Gunther was such a bolter two years ago had to do with Chad, and the reason he slipped this year was no Chad? Could be wrong

|--[\\\]>--------- Some ppl just dont have the genetics. Chad doesn't look like Ronnie coleman (one of his clients) nor does he look like his wife Kim Z. (you kow what i mean) BUT he is VERY intelligent and really knows the body and how it works. Genetically, he may not be able to take what he knows and apply it himself and come out looking like Coleman.

i remember reading an interview w/ him and they asked this same question, his response was "do what i say, not what i do". apparently those who do what he says prove him right.

The perfect example is Dan Duchaine. No real physique to speak of, but probably the greatest 'genius' ever whe it comes to performance enhancing products (which is alot of what makes guys like Chad and Glass 'guru's). Dans era was a time where threr was very little info, and info was hard to obtain-I struggled during this same time to learn advanced ideas. He was the original 'guru'.

Dr.Diet

Chad and Kim live in my hometown.
Cant say Ive had the chance to get to know either of them
But Ive seen them around and seen with my own eyes
what he did with her! Totally transformed her into a Freak
and then back to a normal chick again.

Also you should hear Ronnie Coleman talk about him.
Last year at the Mr.Mo he gave Mad props to Chad and Kim.
Basically said he would not be On top without him.

As far as why he doesnt look like MrOlypia
Id say #1 he would be crazy as Im sure he would be a major target and trouble getting away with things as easily as we may.
#2 All them Benjamins$ he is Making he needs to stay healthy and
grow to be a happy old rich man.

#3. I realy have no Idea

He is from My area though,
and in person he is a pretty big Guy. No muscle bound hulk
but he sure is no slim shady either.

IronMike · May 1, 2004

and

And I think it's important not to forget, that he may actually love the sport and science and helping people reach their goals, but he may not WANT to put himself through what it takes to get there himself. Or he may just not want to get there. IronMike

Maybe he gets a joy out of helping others and is not a selfish prick...a person on stage winning first and the overall because of his skills may make him happy??? I am sure he has his reasons.

Conan21 · May 1, 2004

i was never doubting either of these guys credibility

I was just wonder what charles Glass's traing is like that makes it so great. I'm sure there are alot of good trainers in the Country yet this guy is by far the most popular

Maybe there really ins't answer for this, as i've read he puts each person on a different routine

Queefer · May 1, 2004

With Glass it might not be what he knows as much as how it applies it to each customer. It seems that he has a way of motivating people to be the best they can be. I read in the mags that the pros and ams that use him say that they've never worked out so hard as they did while he trained them. Add that to all his knowledge and you have a deadly combo. I'm sure that the more he trains these guys, the more he sees what does and does not work.

JETHRO TULL · May 1, 2004

I THINK ITS' COMPETITION....SOMEONE GOES TO ONE OF THESE GUYS FOR HELP....

THEN SHOWS UP AT A CONTEST MAKING SOME BIG CHANGES AND EVERYONE WANTS TO LOOK BETTER....SO THEY TOO SEEK AID. THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING WELL IF THEIR CLIENTS SUCKED AFTER GETTING HELP. ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T SAY GREG KOVAKS WOULD BE SOMEONE CHAD WAS SAYING ....'HEY JUST CHECK OUT GREG HERE IF YOU DOUBT ME!"....HAHAHA.........THAT POOR BASTARD MIGHT JUST BE BEYOND HELP! <HE'S PROBABLY A NICE FELLA AND ALL BUT........>
