Continued Learning

I have been bitten by the knowledge bug. I can’t stop and won’t stop learning. I love learning about strength training, customizing for individualizing to the greatest possible extent, health, nutrition, business, and the list goes on. I am truly excited for an upcoming seminar in Los Angeles from one of, if not the, greatest Strength & Conditioning Coach ever, Charles Poliquin.

Here, Coach Poliquin writes about his stumbling upon one of the answers that brought his programming a great deal closer to perfection. This is an amazing article for anyone to read, but can truly put individualization to the forefront of any Coach’s toolbox. He explains how our neurological profiling can dictate a person’s needs during training and even goes over supplementation for deficiencies in hormones. All of this can be found out through a simple pen and paper test!
