Top 5 personalities in strength, conditioning and personal training.
ByAs dry and boring a lot of people are that are involved in a complex subject like fitness there are at least a couple personalities that I find thoroughly entertaining. Watch a presentation or anything that allows their personality to shine and you will know exactly what I am talking about. In no particular order I give you my top 5 picks.
1) Pavel Tsatsouline- Pavel Tsatsouline (the evil Russian) has written several books and appeared in numerous dvd’s published and produced by Dragondoor. He is the chief instructor of the RKCs (of which I am a part of). His dry sense of humor really shines through in his writings and presentations and I can’t help but to laugh because he is a genuinely funny guy. When we went through the RKC certification course my comrades and I must have spent the entire car ride to the hotel impersonating him. Calling everybody his comrade and talking about mullets, big sissies and mutants its hard not to get caught up in it all. Comrade you are in Soviet territory and Pavel will make you a better man…or woman 
2)Arnold Schwarzenegger- I know you might be thinking that old Arnie isn’t a fitness pro but he is. He helped astronauts in Nasa to be able to retain muscle in space and wrote the opus Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Bodybuidling Encyclopedia. Lets face it its his personality that stole the show especially in that memorable scene in Pumping Iron where he was talking about how good the pump feels. His charisma is off the charts.
3)Alwyn Cosgrove- Whenever I see Alwyn give a presentation on fat loss I am always pumped to hear it. Not just because he is extremely knowledgeable but also because his sarcastic sense of humor and absolutely foul mouth tends to leave me in stitches. The articles of this Scotsman are also funny as hell when you actually read them. Dig through his stuff and read what he has to say about pickles and you’ll see what I mean.
4)Zach Evan Esh- Ah the Underground strength coach. KILL IT BEAST! Having met Zach in person you would think that his enthusiasm that he displays in his videos and writings is just something he does in front of the camera but he is really like that…and I have a blast impersonating him. I have never done any in front of him but I guarantee he would get a kick out of them.
5) Vince Delmonte- You can tell Vince is a character in his videos but it isn’t until you actually hang around Vince that you know just what hes like. I had a blast with Vince and I was impersonating him so much that I almost took on his Irish sounding accent (even though he is an Italian that lives in Canada) permanently. “Vince you made it!” “Yeah that was a close one!” (you had to have been there to get what I am talking about)
