« on: January 30, 2020, 06:08:37 AM »
over-rated maybe i saw a few of his videos training the pros and npc guys, seems to me most of what he does is just change the mechanics of how they push or pull when lifting. like lat pull downs he makes them keep their elbows more foward other then straight down...And why is it all these pros use machines thoughts

There's only so many ways to lift weights.

Basically he is a hand-holder and gives psychological support.

Why do pros use machines?

Machines have some advantages for bodybuilding. 

They are comfortable.
They are convenient. 
Less thinking involved.
You can focus specifically on isolation without using energy to balance the weight.  Think leg press vs. barbell squat.
Gyms are full of machines now and lots of these guys have never used free weights.
You can endorse machines for money.

Charles invented a position in the "industry" (rep counting, grubby hippy, "its all you" trainer).

Gullible BB's (mindless) follow along and hire him. Bizarre...

Charles works the angles, gets in there and tries to isolate specific parts of muscle groups etc also tweaks exercises to take stress away from knees etc (Dexter) but yeah it's overhyped for sure.....

Pro's use a lot of machines for isolation, remember they don't care about functional strength only how the muscles look. You will find that when dieted down people that have only done compound lifts will have lots of weak points in their physiques, these must be filled by specifically isolating these muscles. Machines are good at this.

He must be spending all that cash on drugs.  Isn't he still homeless living out of his truck in the Gold's parking lot?

The guy is a charlatan.

Clearly, these pros would look like they do even without all of his special angles and hand positioning.

What a joke.

Charles and I have been friends since the late 1980's. Spent more than a few Thanksgiving dinners siting around the same table.

Do this; go to Golds Venice, speak to Charles, arrange a few sessions. Come to your own conclusions. It ain't that hard. Tell him Thomas Pheil sent you. He might even give you a discount.

Conclusions about what? I mean, as a natural, how much will my physique really change due to training with him? I mean, will all his special angles and different hand positioning really make a difference?

Not to mention that you can change the angles yourself anyway without someone "coaching" you.
