Dr Squat Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 What's his previous athletic background cause surely he hasn't jumped right in from nothingI'm not sure bro. You're right, he is well coordinated and athletic. But he is new to weights. Great to see how quickly one can progress. The plan is for him to do some powerlifting also. Not too much as it tends to make you a bit tighter and less flexible which is not ideal for olympic lifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Zero Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Awesome stuff, especially considering not long ago his future on the bench wasn't looking too flash due to a nasty shoulder injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
