So there's a guy. His name is Charles Poliquin. And he is a fitness God.He is one of the most accomplished strength coaches in the world. Poliquin successfully trains professional athletes and Olympians worldwide. He has designed workouts for Olympic medalists in 17 different sports, world record holders in 10 different sports, and professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and UK Premier League. He has lectured or consulted for a variety of high-profile organizations such as the US Secret Service, Walt Disney Corporation and the World Swimming Congress. Poliquin has written 600-plus articles and 10 books. His works have been translated into 12 different languages and his innovative work in strength training is frequently cited in peer-reviewed literature. He is the inventor of the BioSignature Modulation Method (which I will be attending at some point!!) which has ascertained the relationship between body fat stores and hormonal profiles, and the methodology to improve site specific body composition.
I don't know why I haven't posted about him earlier, but I live by his articles, whom my trainer also lives by. And (one of) the most important article that someone could ever read on his website would have to be this one:
The Negatives of Aerobic Training
After reading it you will see why I have the workout schedule that I do. Also, you will realize that there is aerobic and anaerobic training, and they are very different, opposites actually. And lastly, you will now know why I shake my head at those who are scared to weight train and those who spend hours on the cross trainer or eliptical or walking on a treadmill. Don't fret, I'll be posting articles from him all the time :)
