Now in his passing I feel the obligation not only to repost this article in its original form but also to expand on it further and continue spreading his work and keeping his legacy going. After all Charles wasnРІР‚в„ўt coaching any clients at that time and he did me a great favour by accepting to take me on. It was my way of showing my appreciation for what he had done for me. I originally wrote this article back in 2015 after I had finished up with Charles as testimony for him to put up on his strength sensei website. That is what Charles did for me and that is why I consider him the best coach that I have ever worked with. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetimeРІР‚Сњ. Since then IРІР‚в„ўve been on my own because now I understand my own body better than anyone else.Р”Р„s the old saying goes РІР‚СљGive a man a fish and you feed him for a day. It cost me an arm and a leg but it didnРІР‚в„ўt matter because now I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt trade that experience for anything and it put me ahead of the curve.Р”В¬harles helped me put on 6kg of stage weight in only 4 months and I learned more about my body in those 4 months than in my entire training career before then.Р”В®ven long after I finished the coaching with Charles I continued to use the principles he taught me to learn more and more about my body and refine my blueprint further.Р”В«efore Charles I had already worked with some of the best coaches in the world. In 2015 I hired Charles to prep me for the Arnold Classic Australia MenРІР‚в„ўs Physique division. I consider myself most fortunate because not only did I get to travel with Charles and help him teach at some of his courses but I was also one of his only students to get coached by him directly. Not only did I lose one of my great mentors and role models but I also lost a friend, and someone that was like an uncle to me.Р”В®ven though Charles is no longer with us on this planet, his legend and his legacy will continue to live on through the likes of his students and like myself and many others. Last week when I received the shocking news that Charles had suddenly passed away, it was a very devastating moment for me. I have read all his books and articles, and have attended all of his courses and seminars. From early in my career as a trainer I have been a big fan of Charles PoliquinРІР‚в„ўs work.
