Charles Poliquin

Charles Poliquin is a Canadian strength training coach who has trained and/or consulted numerous world class athletes and professional sports teams. Poliquin, a native of Ottawa, Ontario, has trained Olympic medalists in 12 different sports, including gold medal sprinter Donovan Bailey.[1][2] and possesses a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and a M.Sc. in Exercise Physiology.[specify] Poliquin garnered some mainstream recognition for his column in the fitness publication Muscle Media 2000,[3] in which he gave his strength-training advice in monthly articles to the general public, and later through the online and print versions of Testosterone Magazine[4] (now known as T-Nation).[original research?] Poliquin has published several books, many of which have been translated into different languages, including English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Dutch and Japanese (both French and English translations?). As a columnist, he has written over 500 articles,[1]) in numerous publications. His first book The Poliquin Principles formatted a basic summary of his training methods and provided insight into the training regimens of some of the world's top athletes. Poliquin, who is fluent in English, French and German, also promoted and helped popularize German volume training.
