Scotty and I attended the Biosignature Seminar a few months ago in the still toasty, Scottsdale AZ. This first section will describe the content of the seminar, the second will look at my experiences implementing the technology the past few months, the third section will look at Coach Poliquin’s position on CrossFit and some thoughts I have in response. That said, this final analysis is solely mine and therefore any errors, stupidity or other goofiness is mine and mine alone. This was to discuss theory, compare notes and make sure I’m doing things “right” and to verify if these other folks were observing the same things as I. I have sought guidance and fact checking from Scotty, James Fitzgerald (OPT) and Ido Portal. This review is my best effort at an objective assessment not only of Charles’ technology, but also my experience implementing it in a thriving CrossFit practice. With the recent developments of Charles’ thoughts on CrossFit this has left me in an interesting position given my place in CrossFit. I recently attended the Charles Poliquin biosignature seminar (with Scotty Hagnas of CrossFit Portland) in Scottsdale, AZ. ![]()
