Charles Glass

[SofaGeorge]

I just want to set the record stright and let everybody know that just because MACROPHAGE69ALPHA is bigger than me, does not mean he is smarter than me......He got nothing on me!...

I've seen big, fat, little, short, tall athletic, sedentary, etc...people that can be smart or dumb as a box of rocks......YOU GUYS ARE BEATING A DEAD HORSE HERE!!! DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!

That being said, i'm smarter than ANDY13 in chemistry and FONZ in space stuff.....They don't have anything on me either!

I just saw a chick at my gym. She had to weight close to 300 lbs. I'm going to go ask her for some training tips. She's got to be a bodybuilding genius because she is so big.

 

[MR. BMJ]

Damn you Sofa...Damn you!!! You got me on that one bastard

Alright, maybe not a 300-lb heffer......Wait a minute, what if MS suddenly went into depression and gained 140-150 pounds...I'd still listen to her!!!! Take that!

I know Thate made a personal attack of a sort by saying that Charles Glass and Nelson looked like twigs. But, to me, it looks more like he was just stating his opinion that: I wouldn't trust a small guy to make me bigger.

Seeing what Charles glass has done for many bodybuilders makes me think that, obviously, he knows his stuff. But, there is something inside me that says, "yeah, but he's so small now.." Subconsciously, I think I'd rather be trained by a guy that was actually big- today.

My whole approach to BB, and I'm sure this is the case for most of us, is that I really don't care as much about competition (for myself) as I do about creating a muscular physique I can live with day in and day out for many years. So, for guys like me, and perhaps like Thate, what Charles Glass offers (peak performance for top competitors) just doesn't register as appealing.

Obviously a guy can be knowledgable big or small. But, what we have to figure out is if that knowledge and/or experience is the type that can help us achieve our own individual goals.

Why do people keep saying Charles is small? He isn't a little guy.

 

[SwitchedOn]

Yeah I can't figure that out either Sofa. Why is his size even an issue? If I knew someone who was training elite athetes, had the chance to meet him/her and realized they looked and acted nothing like I wanted to be, would that make me shy away from the possibility of being trained by them? Fuuuuuuuuuck no!!! I try to keep an open mind and I believe that BB, without being stimulated with difference in opinion of diet, training, supplementation, and gear, would go nowhere. It's the debate- especially here at EF- that promotes learning and the sharing of knowledge. The few pics I've seen of Charles Glass have me impressed. More than that though is his success with top tier BBs, incredible

Honestly, I've never seen him in person. The last pictures I saw of him, he looked very small. But these might have been from a few years ago, bad angle, too baggy of clothes..I don't know. Maybe he's bigger now. I'm guessing that the other people saying this have only seen the photos where he looks small as well. I certainly don't mean any disrespect to Charles and I definately think he was in awesome shape in his competitive days.

Last time I saw him was about three months ago... prior to that I saw him pretty much every day for about 10 years. He isn't a little guy... not sure what his weight is, but he is a bigger guy compared to most... stocky muscle. I'm 6'4" and was about 240lbs most of the time he was around. He didn't look "little" next to me. He ALWAYS wears big sweat shirts so lookyloos can't get a perspective of his body... but I've seen him a few times in the posing room working with clients. He's a stocky guy with a lot of muscle... definitely doesn't come under the heading of "small."

Yea, those pictures posted didn't look small to me at all. He may not be a Coleman, but I doubt he wants to be.

I didnt read this whole post but I also Know...........

He took the rap for someone else years ago on a Roid sting. Wasnt cool because he stayed under investigation for a while behind it and he was clean at the time.

I agree about glass, and others that train and are KNOWN experts. I am a personal trainer, i have 19 inch arms at 5'8", i feel it helps me to have some muscle. I know im not huge, but i look the part and am someone aspiring trainees can look up to. Now, maybe the women are a different story, maybe they are intimidated, and maybe some of the guys too, but i still feel they prefer an "in shape" look over one of the flabby trainers. So, the point is we KNOW glass has knowledge, as we KNOW certain others do, whether that is by past experience or current events. However, if you can say one of those flabby out of shape trainers making $50 an hour doesnt piss you off, you are a more patient man than me. The trainers level of dedication to the sport should be enough to keep him/her in respectable shape. Appearance matters to that extent.-WULF
