In bodybuilding circles, many consider the number one nutritionist and pharmacist in bodybuilding is Chad Nichols, a former bodybuilder known for his ability to turn the people he worked with into bodybuilding winners since the mid-90s.
Notable bodybuilders coached by Chad include Mr. Ronnie Kuhlman of the 8th Olympia, Kim Chizewski (his wife) of the 4th Olympia, Mr. Rymy D'Ōremia of the 2nd Olympia, mr. Flex. Wheeler, Nasser Samberti, Chris Comer, Paul Diret, Dennis Wolfe, Melvin Anthony, and others.
But there are also those who believe that Chad Nichols was a "die-hard" and that the death of many of the deceased bodybuilders was inextricably linked to him.
First, "Breaking Bad" Chad Nichols
The success rate of the great bodybuilding championship created by Chad Nichols is long and legendary, and his tailored bodybuilding training methods for them in non-seasons, as well as physical improvements as the race approaches, speak volumes about his ability to build bodybuilding champions.
Chad's first client was his wife, Kim Chizevsky, who helped her beat Lady Olympia Lundah 10 times at her best. Murray, who won the 1996 Ms. Olympia, and then won the title of Ms. Olympia for 3 consecutive years, is enough to prove Chad's mastery of sports nutrition.
In 1998, Chad led the "grandfather" Ronnie Kuhlman with his customized and professional approach to bodybuilding nutrition to win his first Olympia championship, and before this competition, most people in the bodybuilding circle did not rank Ronnie in the top five of the Olympiad, so Ronnie's victory surprised the public and shocked everyone.
Since professional nutrition coaching is also very important to the athletic performance of athletes, Chad's most famous collaboration was in 1993 with heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson, whose coaching helped Tyson knock out his opponent Clifford Etienne, the "Black Rhinoceros", in the first round of 45 seconds.
However, Chad Nichols has achieved so much in sports nutrition (training, diet, supplements), but why is he called a "breaking bad"?
Dallas gained 40 kilograms in the three years before his death
In recent years, the number of top athletes in bodybuilding circles who died at a young age has increased, and the most shocking thing is in 2017, at the age of 26 in Dallas. The news that McCaffer died of a heart attack.
Dallas. McCaffer, born in the United States on April 9, 1991, is 183 cm tall and weighs 120 kg in the season, and in 2012 he won the full-time ifBB North American Bodybuilding Championship and earned a professional card.
McCaffer finished 13th in his first appearance at Olympia in 2015. The following year, he won the 2016 Chicago Pro League. In 2017, he finished second in the Arnold Classic, behind the late Cedric McMillan.
McCaffer was expected to take a leap forward in 2017, but what was unexpected was that he left this world in August, and the cause of death was said to be a heart attack, but there is also a theory that Chad Nichols let him die of overdosing.
It used to be Dallas. McCaffer's coach, Hani Lambot, also pointed out the problem, saying, "When I worked with Dallas, he weighed only 255 pounds, but when he died, he weighed 345 pounds, and I suggested he didn't weigh more than 280 to 285 pounds. ”
Dallas. McCaffer studied with Lambord in 2014, and later, he replaced the coach with Chad Nichols, meaning he gained 90 pounds (40.8 kg) in the 3-4 years from 2014 to 2017.
If it is a normal dietary life, if the original weight is more than 100 kilograms, if you want to increase your weight to more than 40 kilograms within three years, you must use PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). In fact, after his death, several KINDS were detected in his body, apparently over-medication. Moreover, many of the players who studied under Chad Nichols died, and some bodybuilders left serious sequelae, so it was natural to hold Him responsible as a coach for McCaffer's death in Dallas.
Bodybuilding celebrity Sean. Ray blamed Chad for nearly killing Ronnie Kuhlman and seriously injuring other professional bodybuilders such as Flex Wheeler, Don Long, Tom Prince, and others, and also accused Chad Nichols of being responsible for the deaths of Don Janbrad, Nasser Sambati, Dallas McCaffer, and others, and accused Chad of never attending the funeral of his deceased client. The two engaged in a heated argument.
However, bodybuilding coach Milos also pointed out that it is impossible for a coach to guarantee the full health of a bodybuilder, and it is impossible to require the coach to take full responsibility, but Ronnie. Kuhlman, Flex Wheeler, Dallas. It is also true that Customers such as Chad Nichols, such as McCaffer, have suffered from a major illness or death.
However, as bodybuilders, knowing this, they also hired Chad Nichols as a coach, and they are also aware of the risks, so not all the responsibility should be borne by the coach.
