Mentorship Under Charles Poliquin

But for yourself, and I believe I'm getting this correct, but you actually learned from Charles Poliquin. Yeah. So what are some of the big things that you took from, I mean, again, talk about somebody that's undeniable. I think everybody in this, I mean, everybody watching, everybody in this building would put him as the go. So what are some of the biggest takeaways you've taken from Charles Poliquin? Oh, man. I know it's really hard, but. I did. I had a guy ask me this a few weeks ago on a podcast. And I'm like, where do you fucking start? Yeah. Because Charles was just full of full of information. It was ridiculous. So I yeah. So I was a student of his and then I worked for him for a long time. And then when he when he left Pollock and group, I went on full time to kind of fill in like what he was doing. Right. And then all the shit hit the fan. That's a whole other drama story. But, yeah, I mean, with him, the way I got on to him is I was in the early 90s and muscle is muscle media, muscle media, 2000 or whatever. Yeah. When they were still hardcore and they hadn't sold out. And he was in there talking about all kinds of shit. And you had Charles Staley and you had Paul check and all this crazy shit and steroid talk and all that. And I started reading his stuff in there. And then in 1992, we got the internet and I was 14. So then I was able to search more stuff from him. And I'm like, this all makes sense. Wow. And I was a fan of physical culture history. And I'm like, okay, this is what Charles does. He finds all of these methods that other people came out with. And he figures out a way to like categorize them of when they're a perfect to do and how to periodize them in the structured format. So I started training like he was writing about it. And I was like, holy shit, I'm getting really strong and I'm getting really big. It all worked. So that why I gravitated towards him and made him my mentor and ended up working for him
