From Student to Instructor
He will help you reach your goals, not his. This may seem insignificant to some, but it makes all the difference in a top rate trainer. Adam put together a plan for me based on my goals. He has generously answered all my questions and continues to do so. Another thing that stands out for me is his ability to communicate very clearly. You have to understand what you’re being asked to do.
I met Adam at the first Grip&Rip that he and Brad Nelson(another exceptional trainer) put together. Obviously, there was a lot of useful strength and fitness information imparted. I really liked that Adam was focused, attentive to our questions, and was just a really nice guy(who makes chains explode and destroys horse shoes).
If you’re lucky enough to live where his gym is, sign up and change your life for the better. If not, get to a seminar of his.
Tom Heafey, RKC
Tom made tremendous progress in 2009 including earning his RKC title. He is returning to join me again at GripNRip 2010. In my opinion, that is the highest compliment he could bestow on me.
Hurricane Hunter makes best gains of his life
Adam is a FANTASTIC NATURAL INSTRUCTOR. He not only understands how the body functions and how the muscles work together, he can explain it SIMPLY! He will demo a picture perfect lift, watch you do the same lift and explain in detail, but SIMPLY, how you can do it better. He understands leverage better than most engineers I know; I’ve been a flight instructor since 1992 and am VERY envious of how THOROUGHLY and EASILY he explains things.
If you are serious about maximizing your strength and truly reaching your potential then I urge you to WORK. WITH. ADAM. GLASS. He is a fantastic instructor and a TERRIFIC GUY, to boot. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and look forward to seeing Adam again.
Oh, I almost forgot, what about results?? In 6 months after working with Adam, my deadlift PR has gone from 505 to 565. I’ve gone from 5 presses per arm with the 70 lb KB to 5 per arm with the Bulldog. I’ve snatched the 106 twice per arm and my SSST snatch numbers went from 188 to 214. I’ve been training almost 30 years and have used KBs for since 2002, so this isn’t the increased strength that EVERY new trainee experiences: This is strength gleaned from an Instructor who KNOWS STRENGTH COLD and can EXPLAIN it to where you “see the light.”
Adam Glass is the real deal. If you have the chance to train with Adam and are SERIOUS about improving yourself then you MUST work with Adam. If you don’t then you are shooting yourself in the foot.
John Fox, Lt Col, USAF
Colonel Fox has crushed his previous goals we set back in late 2008, including squatting 350 for a set of 20 reps and adding 15lbs of lean mass and dropped body fat- and He is in his forties!
Matt teamed up with me to beat back Cerebral Palsy, and become stronger than he ever thought possible
I am going into my 11th week receiving instruction from Adam. What I like about Adam is he will work within one’s mobility challenges, and he will still construct a program that produces results quickly. I have Cerebral Palsy, and coming up with effective programs for myself in the past were nonexistent,not to mention trainers who did not have a clue on how to get me strong.
So far I have had great results. I can now bend a yellow nail DU in one hit well past 90,MM my 2.5 gripper,db row over 100 lbs 10 times, I can hammer curl 50 lbs for reps, my bench is much more powerful, and one hand DL 135. Before, Adam, I was terrible at all those things. I believe the only reason I have not shattered more goals is because I have not attempted to break them yet. Adam said on his blog, “If you’re not getting better you are getting worse” You will get better with Adam as your trainer. If he has spots left, contact this Man.
Matt Ciarlette
Matt is one of my truly special clients i have worked with- He was told by many doctors through out his life “You will never do this…you will never do that” instead- He has gone after feats of strength, grip training, and power lifting. While many people in his situation has decided to settle, he has decided to fight back and take his life in to his own hands. Matt will bend the Red nail and close the #3 within a matter of months now. A massive accomplishment by any measurement!
Special Teams sniper back in action when no one else could help
I met Adam through work, and told him I wanted to cross train back into my original career field. Just by looking at me, Adam was able to detect that I was having problems with my shoulder and hip due to a training injury. After 14 weeks of training with Adam, I now have pretty much all my mobility back in my shoulder and hip. The pain that was there and limited my work outs is now gone.
At first I didn’t think Adam could correct my injuries because the doctors said there was nothing that could be done for my shoulder. Adam proved them wrong and now I’m almost back to my full potential. I continue to work out with Adam on an almost daily base, growing stronger and more powerful with every work out. I am grateful for the coaching and mentoring Adam has given me. He is an incredible instructor. One should be lucky to have an instructor like Adam.
Jake Udell
Jake’s situation was extremely important to correct- He was facing a nagging injury which directly impacted his duty performance. Jake is assigned to a special teams section and injury can be career ending if left unchecked. While the doctors prescribed drugs and gave this hard charger the word to “take it easy” I had Jake back to full mobility and pain free in short order. He went on to successfully complete the USAR Special Reaction Teams Level II course, an extremely demanding shooting course with an 80% failure rate.
Can we work together to achieve your best goals yet? Are you ready to make progress now? Are you ready to be he next success story?
We can work face to face on the 6th of Feb in Woodbury MN, or you can enroll in my distance coaching program.
