More PR's

Today I worked out at the former Sports Club Irvine now known as Equinox. With a non needle bearing bar and plates that really didn't fit the bar (I'm spoiled) I cleaned 75kg and jerked 61kg (I don't jerk too much). I did the cleans off the platform not the 3" boxes I've been using to put less stress on my spine. All feels fine!

Sharing and encouragement!

This blog is meant to show that someone over 30 (I'm almost 51) can after devastating injuries can come back to a relative high level of fitness. Remember now I tore my quadriceps (all four thigh muscles) away from my knee cap.

DO NOT BE DECIEVED!

If you are an athlete over 31-35 years of age you CAN NOT exercise away a bad diet. I had a conversation this last week with an athlete who has qualified for the 2012 Olympics in London and he/she was trying to keep his/hers weight down mid season doing cardio when they are involved in an anaerobic sport. A couple things, a bad diet is not limited to too many calories. It could be too little protein, too little fat, wrong kinds of protein, wrong kinds of fat, too little carbs or the wrong kinds of carbs. It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age, elite athletes are still getting BAD advice.

More good news

Monday(5/21/2012) cleaned 72.5kg x1)3. Wednesday snatched 50kg x 1, 52.5 x 1, 50 x 1. Now my strength is going up faster in the clean then the snatch. Fyi my goals are 90kg clean and a 60kg snatch.

Things have been happening

Since my last post in April my hitting and blocking have improved and I attribute that directly to the fact that I'm easily cleaning 70k for doubles and snatching 50k for multiple singles.

Just a note.

Monday cleans, 52.5 x 3, 57.5 x 3, 62.5 x 2, 67.5 x 2, 70kg x 1)2, felt great! Wednesday snatches, 30kg x 3, 40 x 3, 42.5 x 2, 45 x 2, 47.5 x 2, 50kg x 1)2, no problems!
