Whether they are corporate moguls, political leaders or Nobel Prize winners, in every walk of life there are individuals who have set themselves apart from others. Nowhere is this hierarchy of achievement so closely watched as in the world of sports. Thousands of books carefully chronicle decades of athletic bests. In 1912, Jim Thorpe, the winner of both the Pentathlon and the Decathlon at the Stockholm Olympics, was declared by King Gustav before the media of the day to be "the greatest athlete in the world." In the 1960s Muhammad Ali declared himself simply The Greatest, and ever since that day The Greatest is a title athletes in every sport aspire to. In the shadow of every great athlete stands the strength coach. The achievements of these coaches are measured in gold and silver, yet few know their names. But as in every aspect of sports, bespeckled statisticians sit in moldy back rooms and comb the records to establish the "winningest" in the field of coaching. And in that world, The Greatest of contemporary strength coaches is Charles Poliquin. Charles was born March 5, 1961, in Ottawa, Canada. He was the sixth of eight children and the only one to pursue sports. At age 14, Charles became one of the youngest ever to achieve a Black Belt. It was his karate instructor who first introduced him to weight training. "One day I came to the dojo and I was the only who showed," recalled Charles. "My instructor couldn't see teaching karate to a class of one, so we spent the time lifting weights." Charles never stopped lifting weights, and his career unfolded quite naturally from that point. He received his BSc degree in kinesiology and began coaching athletes before returning to his studies to earn a MSc in exercise physiology. "I believe a college education is quite overrated," says Charles of his formal education. "That's the reason I don't put letters after my name-I don't believe it means anything." Indeed, the most valuable education Charles achieved was on his own, outside the academic ivory towers. Early in his studies he realized that the majority of research in exercise physiology concentrated on aerobics. In order to find research on strength training, he had to turn to European journals and periodicals, particularly those from Germany. So Charles set about teaching himself German to complement the French and English in which he was already fluent. One of the first research materials Charles tackled was Jurgen Weineck's book Optimales Training. The day he finished translating it he went to Canada's Sports Information Library only to find they had just received the French edition of it! Charles checked his own translation with the French version and realized he was doing a good job at translating-perhaps, he soon found , better than some others. "Much of the important information in strength training comes from Europe, and what is available to English-speaking coaches has all been translated by a professional translator. However, the translator is rarely also a strength coach, and much of the information is misconstrued during the translation. Years of study and valuable techniques simply never make their way to English-speaking universities because of this!" As Charles continued to study not the translations but the original texts of European research, his knowledge began to surpass that of his Canadian peers. He began lecturing at international conferences including those of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and Australian Collegiate Strength Coaching Council. His growing list of winning athletes created a rumor that Charles was being paid not by the athletes, but by the medals those athletes won, a rumor he says is not far from the truth. By the mid-1980s, when Charles retired from the collegiate coaching environment and began his studies for his master's degree, his reputation had already produced a waiting list of athletes anxious to train under his tutelage. Today Charles is best known for his achievements with Olympic and professional athletes. He has coached 22 different Olympic sports and presently is the strength and conditioning coach for 120 world class athletes, including: Myriam Bedard, Olympic athlete and World Champion in biathlon Marc Gagnon, World Champion and Olympic medalist in short track speed skating Natalie Lambert, World Champion and Olympic medalist in short track speed skating Nine Olympic medalists in the Lillehammer Olympic Games Charles' innovative methods are renown for getting results in months that other coaches achieve in years. And if an athlete is fortunate to work with him for years, the results are truly phenomenal. For example, Cathy Millen, World Women's Powerlifting Champion, increased her bench press from 281 pounds to 407 pounds at a bodyweight of 184 after following Charles' programs for 24 months! Speed and power are what make champions. Charles is known worldwide for producing faster athletes. Faster starts allowed US speed skater Casey Fitzrandolph to step many times onto the World Cup podium and also allowed Canada to win both overall world cup titles in bobsled in 1995. Kate Pace had the fastest start when she won the World Downhill Ski Championships in 1993. Charles' acceleration techniques have produced world championship medals in alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsled, cycling, judo, karate, rowing, swimming and speed skating. His impact has also been seen in the increasing accuracy of shots and throws in sports from ice hockey to American football and basketball. Use of his leading-edge energy system training programs-along with improved nutrition and effective supplementation-has made Charles a legend in athletic recovery techniques. His expertise is credited with allowing National Hockey League star Gary Roberts to return to the game after being written off by medical doctors. In the world of bodybuilding, Bill Phillips, Executive Editor of Muscle Media, was the first to recognize the value of applying Charles' methodologies to the field of strength and mass development. Charles was quickly adopted as the magazine's strength guru, and in each issue he contributes articles and his column, "The Poliquin Principles". The reason Charles has become so popular in the world of bodybuilding is that his methods work, and work fast. "Bodybuilders aren't the only athletes interested in hypertrophy-athletes in many sports require gains in size and strength," explains Charles. "The big difference is most of my athletes only have 10-12 weeks to get results. Bodybuilders are used to taking years to gain the same degree of muscle size and strength, so to them, my methods seem more like miracles!" In addition to achieving fast results, Charles also brings a systematic approach to training. "I think bodybuilders are getting tired of the Weider instinctive training method by which anything goes," says Charles. "Bodybuilders may dress like clowns, but a lot of them are smarter than many of the magazines give them credit for. I know this from the letters I receive. They are hungry for new information and convincing explanations of why they are being told to do something." Now, with the publication of The Poliquin Principles, Charles brings his miraculous techniques to the world of strength and physique athletes. With this book Charles Poliquin provides the rationale behind his workouts and opens the door for a new age of intelligent bodybuilding.
