69kg Snatch 2009 Weightlifting Worlds
How is this for some weight bearing exercises for osteoporosis week...
These people weigh 69kg (151.8 pounds) and they are lifting over 300 pounds over their head! Take note of their flexibility and of course their power and speed. It is the movement that is important for the general public not the weight. I teach my clients/patients to perform scaled versions of these movement because of their therapeutic benefits. The benefits include strength, power, speed, flexibility, coordination, accuracy, and balance. Do these lifts, gain these elements of fitness.

As you probably already know, we’re big on sprinting around here for a number of reasons. First of all, sprints most closely emulate the type of activity Grok would have performed. You know – slowly stalking and hunting an animal for hours at a time (the constant, steady movement I prescribe) only to erupt with an intense burst of speed for the final kill (the sprint). Then he’d have to lug the thing back to camp (deadlifts, squats, and other high-intensity weight bearing training). Sprints are great because they are exactly the type of movement that man has been making for hundreds of thousands of years. Why mess with a good thing? Second, modern science has confirmed that Grok’s mode of exercise is actually the most efficient and effective. The chronic cardio crowd still has plenty of sway (as evidenced by the post-New-Year’s-eve legions of overweight joggers shambling down the streets with pained looks on their faces), but it’s getting difficult to ignore facts. We now know that...
