Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I've had several questions about
my current training and what I'm
doing, so I thought I'd give you a
brief report.
As I've mentioned, we moved last
year - sold the house - downsized
to a nice little apartment - and I
brought my weights with me.
I train out in the driveway, using
some thick rubber stall mats for
a lifting platform.
When it rains, I do squats in the
basement.
I do Olympic lifting now, so my
workouts are 100% OL.

| Training should be fun. Do the things that you enjoy doing. |
Why?
Because it's a good workout - and
because I like doing it. At age 60,
after 50-plus years of training, I
get to do things that I like when I
train.
That's a very important point for
older Dinos.
Find things you enjoy. You're
much more likely to stick with
it if you do things you enjoy.
I try to train 3x a week, alternating
snatch workouts and clean and
jerk workouts. Sometimes, LIFE
gets in the way and I can only
train twice a week. Both work
fine.

If time and energy permit, the
snatch workout looks like this:
1. 10 - 15 min warm-up
2. Power snatches
3. Snatch high pulls
4. Back or front squats
5. Gut work or hyperextensions
The clean and jerk workout
looks like this:
1. 10 - 15 min warm-up
2. Power clean and jerk
3. Clean high pulls
4. Back or front squats
5. Gut work or hyperextensions
If I'm pressed for time, I do
less. No big deal. The point is,
get in the workout, even if it's
a shorter one.
Anyhow, that's what I've been
doing - and I'm having lots of
fun doing it.
