great point iron, thats how fucked up this industry is, say he did do that and dropped to like 170 ripped he could do a whole video series on it,. but this is a bizarre industry people want to see the freak show, and since his channel was his main income he would have lost money either way, he didnt make shit competing. this will happen to alot of body builders on youtube, larry wheels is a prime example, he will either wind up crippled or die from a stroke or heart attack eventually.
Tbh, no body really cared how he looked, it was his knowledge on training and dieting that people were looking at. His channel was very knowledgeable and he was very detailed. No one was watching him lift heavy poundages, he could have slimmed down and he still wouldn’t have lost followers, he’s already established
Whether I agree with Charles glass or not, people aren’t watching his videos on his physique either, it’s his training, and his detailed explanation on various exercises, form and his unconventional style
Guys like Ronnie, Larry wheels, O hearn, were different, people watched their videos for the lifts, no one cared for Ronnie talking, doubt he knows anything about dieting or training unless it was told by him from chad or Brian Dobson
