Why anyone would pay this garbage bag for advices is beyond reason.  I suppose it's just another method of massaging one's ego.  You might as well just give your money to democRats.

Charles Glass training in one photo

[Humble Narcissist]

I think his bullshit can work to an extent...

It can help to mix things up, and glass's weird angles and positions do just that, especially if your a very experienced trainer that has stagnated in their routine,.. Like a lot of pro bbers would.

But you would probably want to switch back to conventional style training after a month or two imo.

Changing the angles can work but why pay someone else for the advice?  Just do it yourself.

Yeah true^

I suppose people are just lazy, It would be interesting to know what dexter pays him.

Yes, Gunter came in at his absolute best working with Glass. He never achieved that level again and was robbed that year at the 2002 Olympia.

Yes, that is true! Charles prepped him for the show. I was at the Mr.Olympia that year as well and Günter had the crowd behind him. He should have placed at least in the top three.

so much for being a bum!
Charles is and always was a really nice guy.

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.

I'm guessing Charles offers more than suggesting changes in hand positioning.

Many elite-level trainers offer customized input on:
Improving lagging body parts,
Developing and maintaining symmetry,
Nutrition,
P.E.D. use and sources,
Posing,
etc.

I'm not saying he's worth it; I'm not saying he's not.
But he's definitely more than the the average LA Fitness "trainer" who stands next to you and counts while you do your shitty reps.

“As I worked out, a pair of lifters who are big enough to snap Chris Hemsworth like a twig screamed through dead lifts.”

“Mr. Glass was unimpressed. “A waste of energy,” was what he called their loud display.”


Hahaha, I bet it was that idiot mike o Hearn  

225 dollars an hour

For decades it has been all about the drugs and their protocol.
"Guru" and "trainer" are just code for supplier/pusher.  He's only there to give them their fits.

Hany rimjob trained Phil Heath to 7 titles, Phil wouldn’t have been champion if it wasn’t for hany’s fs7 or whatever BS his training method was

Years ago, I asked Lee Priest (in a thread here) if he felt he benefited from training with Rambod.

He simply replied that Hany just told him to "take more shit."

he only needed to watch one of his videos to make that decision..

Yeah..I mean Kai finished 2nd many times so I guess Charles could get him1st👌

do we have a gunther thread up? god damn

[Titus Pullo]

And Gunter I believe

Touche!  

Of course, I wonder what else Gunter did differently in 2002  Sitting sideways and doing one-legged hack squats while a grubby-lookin' Rastafarian looks on, occasionally offering gems of wisdom like "contrack!" or "do another rep" just doesn't seem as magical as FLEX magazine made it sound

On the other hand, if people want a professional babysitter and are so eager to pay Charles for that, they will probably get a somewhat better workout than on their own, and if he looks like a bum, he's a bum laughing his ass off when he goes to the bank.

[Coach is Back!]

You are not working with Eryk anymore?

I am. He does my diets and I do my own supplements protocols

[tommywishbone]

Kids, pop in to Golds Venice. Grab a session with CG. Same price as a few vials of Test and some protein powder. You might learn something you don't already know.  Even better, you might learn something you think you already knew. It could happen.

Give Charles my name. Send me a postcard when you're famous.

What is a vial of Test going for these days?

[tommywishbone]

In Northern California... A low of $40 to a high of $80. 10ml. 250mg per ml.  Seems the going rate. Cyp, Enan, Prop, all the same price.

Take more shit LOL....

Charles does not charge the same for everyone and asks us please do not tell anybody what we are paying

[pellius]

Round it out to $50 and I consider "a few" as three, plus protein: 150+30.

If you can get someone of that caliber for $200 that's a steal. But I imagine, as Coach implied, the price schedule varies widely. I'm sure a lot comes in packages. Like a three-month prep pack or bulk package (like an actor having to put on muscle fast) as well as slimming programs. I imagine the big money is with celebs since they don't have to pay and it's covered by the studio. One trainer I know, who had his own personal gym about the size to two typical garages train a "B" celeb for 3 months and got 15 grand. Pennies for the studio nice for spending barely two hours a day, five days a week.

For decades it has been all about the drugs and their protocol.
"Guru" and "trainer" are just code for supplier/pusher.  He's only there to give them their fits.

In an interview with [I believe] RX Muscle, Dennis James said that he doesn't just give the training program or diet [the sundae], but he always gives the "cherry on top" [which I, and some others online] assumed to mean that he is a hookup for the actual gear.

I think that was in an interview where he said he would charge $5,000 to do someone's diet.  It would have been someone at a high level, and the implication was that the five grand covers the gear required for that contest as well - which could presumably run a few grand just for the gear over the course of the 12 week contest prep/diet.

So yeah, you have a point...unfortunately.  But, it is what it is, and I think most of us who follow the sport the industry have come to accept that.
