there are so many good ones: Charles Poliquin, Dr. Eric Serrano, Paul Chek, Charles Staley, Juan Carlos Santana, etc.
I like many coaches. No gurus.

I concur.
Charles Glass I agree is phenomenal. Have you ever seen him train? Its mesmerizing!
“Hey you over there stick this needle in your ass then and we can work on your 20 rep leg extensions and 1 arm dumbell rows with 200lbs and a 5inch ROM.”
Anyone who almost exclusively trains juicers is a piece of shit.
Dave Tate, Bud Jeffries and Pavel.
I never heard of Charles Glass before. A lot of guys here seem to like him though.
I’ll check him out. Is there any official site?

Not sure where you got your definition but it is very incomplete.
A Guru (Sanskrit: गुरू), is a teacher in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, as well as in many new religious movements. Based on a long traditional line of philosophical understanding as to the importance of knowledge, the guru is seen in these religions as a sacred conduit, or a way to self-realization. The importance of finding a true guru is described in the scriptures and teachings of religions in which a guru plays a role.
“Guru” also refers in Sanskrit to Brihaspati, a Hindu figure analogous to the Roman planet/god Jupiter. In Vedic astrology, Guru or Brihaspati is believed to exert teaching influences. Indeed, in many Indian languages such as Hindi, the occidental Thursday is called either Brihaspativaar or Guruvaar (vaar meaning day of the week).
In contemporary India, “guru” is widely used within the general meaning of “teacher”. In Western usage, the original meaning of guru has been extended to cover anyone who acquires followers, though not necessarily in an established school of philosophy or religion. In a further metaphorical extension, guru is used to refer to a person who has authority because of his or her perceived knowledge or skills in a domain of expertise.

Right and Michael Spinks got knocked the out, as did Bowe, he was still sloppy even though he was lighter, and Roy Jones looked his worst and fought his worst when he put on those 25 lbs.
Plus, have you seen Mackie? I would have a hard time paying a guy to get me big and strong that looks like Richard Simmons.

The term “guru” has a negative connotation.
I do not like s&c gurus. I like s&c coaches. Most of the guys listed here are great coaches but not “gurus”.
Paul Chek is a “guru”.
