Christmass Time Committment

In this time period when most people want to take it easy the committed athlete will make sacrifices to reach their goals. Because in the end the journey to greatness will be tough and arduous. Those whom strive for life long dreams of the Olympics will push themselves when others won’t. As a Coach I have sacrificed time with my family, connections with friends, and spent an enormous amount of money to see my athletes reach their goals. Because in the end their goals then become my goals. No regrets. What I had I gave, what I kept I lost forever!

Weightlifters Training for National Championships

/0 Comments/in , /by

In this phase of training for the Nationals most of our athletes are working on muscular endurance. We push the volume and train at a higher intensity level then we did this time out going into the American Open Championships. You must constantly strive to push the envelope on what you have done before. The next phase of training going into the Nationals will see most of our athletes pushing for lower volume and even higher intensities of training. The order and combinations of exercises and manipulation of intensity is the true secret to training weightlifters. I should say drug free athletes.
