76 year old olympic weightlifter
Greetings Friends.
I am a competing Masters Olympic Weightlifter. Started practice in 2005.
Quite out of place among the 400+ squatters in this neck of the woods, but doing my best.
In my workouts i take about a one minute rest between sets - real bad for strength, but what i need, because in competition i get about 1 minute rests, by the time you go from platform - to warmup area - to platform.
I took an extended light conditioning period, after seeing many trainees injure themselves by pushing for PR's constantly, and i don't want it to happen to me.
I did 3 months of German Body Composition training, 3 months of P.H.A., & 3 months of 10x10.
Before then i was breathing sq 105 k x 20.
Coming back, i started at 80 k, & am adding 1 k each fortnight. At 87 k now, & planning to continue, aiming at 110 in about a year's time.
I train twice a week on a 4-way whole body split. The mainstay is one or two power exercises, a whole bunch of light O.L's working on perfect technique, and a couple of bodybuilding exercises to round things out.
This is my training this week ....
