I’ll try again:
Chad Waterbury & Poliquin[/quote]
People hate them? Wow! When it comes to training and athletics these to are head and shoulders above the rest. Their stuff is cutting edge and it works. If you don’t thing the Waterbury Method or Poliquin’s stuff doesn’t work, you either haven’t tried it, or your are genetically screwed.
If people hate them, people hate genius, period.
When it comes to Poliquin and Waterbury, I am a HUGE fan… So I am with you… Actually, I got a man crush so I am ahead.[/quote]
Poliquin hate isn’t too hard to see. 99% he sounds like a damn genius, and 1% of the time he says shit that is just plain retarded. He might just do that to troll folks though.

Poliquin got a bad rap through a penchant for hyperbole and off-the-wall dietary advice. He’s kind of been set up as a living strawman where everything he’s ever said or written is a tissue of lies, including his training methods, which do work - even if he will espouse the anabolic effects of lunch pail trees from the land of Oz.
I didn’t realize just how deep-seated the Waterbury hate was until I stumbled across a thread on another site (I think it was Sherdog). Let’s just say that some of those people should be receiving restraining orders in the near future.

I think it stems from everybody thinking they are experts because they put on a little muscle and if somebody says something different, than damn it they are wrong!
Well it’s their loss, Waterbury methods work way better than they should, he’s done his homework, he knows his shit and he dared to tread where others were afraid. The ideas he pioneered years ago are starting to work their way in to every ‘experts’ advice. Further, he’s a hell of a nice guy and will give you the time of day, which I respect because so many others are too good for you…
Poliquin’s off the wall advice sounds weird and fucked up, until you try it and the damn thing works. Besides I like his dry sense of humor, I guess some folks cannot take a joke.
