I've toyed with the notion of working into training for competition, starting as the really weak, old guy that I am, but there's no qualified local coach here that I've been able to identify. Of course, if there was, then I'd have no excuse.
Oh, and can you post a close up video of the stripper shoulder shimmy? I think if I learned that it's help me relax, too. 
It'll be fun to follow your progress. Keep at it! |
Hey Chris, thanks for stopping by and checking out my log...shimmy joke and all. You should absolutely learn the O Lifts - they are so much fun! You're a martial artist right which means you probably have good flexibility. If you've got that, you're halfway there. Oh, and I'm 42 (
)and have been learning these for almost 7 months. Most of the time I was learning with the help of a great trainer who had not taught the olympic lifts before. I've been training with a "real" coach for a whopping 2 weeks.
Are you sure there's nobody in your area?
