The 28-year-old describes himself as creative, adventurous, and humorous. Undoubtedly, Polk brings all these skills to the competition to get an edge. He’s spoken about how he used to be a Genetics Coordinator in a forest in Idaho. During this time, Polk climbed trees over 100 feet, to collect reproductive materials like cones, pollen, and scion. He’s also managed a tree orchard where he cared for trees that produced seeds that would be planted in the north-west region.
There’s no denying that Polk’s line of work requires a degree of mental strength, but he also has the physicality to go. While most contestants get their workouts at the tough jobs, Polk makes it a point to undergo intense gymming sessions on his own time. We will leave you with a video where the participant can be seen strength training.
