BUT, a lot of Mentzers theories worked because his trainees were so beaten down from subpar training/nutrition before starting to work with him. I’m sure this factored into their amazing results. Another factor that must be realized, is the use of anabolics. I have a very close friend who works in the strength training field, and worked with one of Poliquin’s top guys at his facility for a while. According to this guy, (and this by NO MEANS takes anything away from his training knowledge or theories) Charles is juiced out of his mind, as are a lot of his clients. Again, this doesn’t affect his knowledge at all, but it does make some of the unbelievable claims a little more realistic.

When did you hear that. Because I read an article saying that he saliva tests his clients before even working with them for anabolics. Especially since the positive test by David Boston was bad. Of course he’s not going to say to a magazine “Oh yeah we use tons and tons of steroids!”[/quote]
Yea Mighty Stu,
Where did you hear that? I remember reading that Christian Thib was saying Charles won’t take clients who are juiced for that very reason: in order to protect his reputation. Thinnk about it, if one of your clients gets busted for steroids, as a competitive athletic trainer, your career is pretty much done.
Pretty out of line of you to be spewing shit like that unless you know ecactly what you are talking about.
He makes stuff up to sell his service and products, he knows his stuff, but he knows how to serve up some good lies. I guess its up to the individual reading it to pick out the useful information and ignore the made up bits
Charles Poliquin’s olympic track record speak for itself! Even if you take as part of the equation the drugs AND the fact that he works with top athletes. The results are there!
As for some of his outrageous claims I think he’s got the same kind of practical humor as Arnold ie make naive people believe something so outlandish just because he’ CP… the 24 hours biceps solution… hello muscular edema.
