I MAINTAIN THAT WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED OTHERS CAN EMULATE IF THEY ADOPT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND TRAIN WITH WEIGHTS. I STARTED TRAINING AT EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE. MY MOTIVATION WAS TO BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO SCARE OFF THE BULLIES AT SCHOOL. IT WORKED. SIDNEY COAD WILLIAMS HEALTH ACTIVIST.

I STOPPED WEIGHT LIFTING IN 1990 AT THE AGE OF 64 YEARS. INCIDENTALLY I HELD THE TITLE OF SOUTH AFRICAN WEIGHT LIFTING CHAMPION AT THE AGE OF 64 YEARS. IN THE EARLY DAYS OF WEIGHT LIFTING THERE WERE THREE LIFTS. THEY WERE:
CLEAN AND PRESS
CLEAN AND JERK
SNATCH
THE CLEAN AND PRESS WAS ELIMINATED BECAUSE LIFTERS USED TO CHEAT.
I AM CURRENTLY 86 AND MY MAXIMUM IN THE DEAD LIFT IS 160 KILOGRAMS. I DEAD LIFT 140 KILOGRAMS WITH EASE. CHECK MY TWO VIDEOS ON http://www.youtube.com CHECK MY PROFILE ON http://www.google.com THEN SURF THE LINKS.

I stumbled across it because Mark Clegg publicised it through MuscleTalk (where I’m a regular). I’m a bodybuilder by heart but am really getting into the idea of Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting. I’ve already done Strongwoman but again suffer due to the lack of u75kg competitors in the country. I’ll definitely add you to my blogroll!

However I am sure the UKSCA one will be fine – and anyway you are not London-based are you? So useful to be able to do one closer to home.

all the same i am looking forward to it, i am alright on the overhead squat and deadlift, need a little work on my front squats mainly elbow position lol, but i’ll practice it .

cheers TT
