SUN REST DAY 3/2/2013


Saturday Kyle, Koz and Myself drove down to the Gold Coast to get some coaching from Donnie.  For me it was kind of like meeting a rock star... but screaming would not have been appropriate. Koz did all the screaming for me.  

Donny Shankle is a five time national champion and world team member in the sport of weightlifting. He is the only weightlifter in the United States to defeat in competition a defending world champion in over 30 years. At the 2007 annual Arnold classic Donny was named the country’s most inspirational weightlifter. He is the only American weightlifter to have trained both as a resident athlete at this country’s regional Olympic training complex and under the tutelage of the world’s greatest weightlifting coach and teacher Ivan Abadjiev. Donny is a marine corps veteran of the Iraq war and resides in Fort Mill, SC. He is currently in pursuit of the Rio Olympics in 2016 and is a part time personal trainer with more than ten years experience certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

It was a great experience and we all learned a lot. I'm sure you will see more PR's at they gym as the knowledge gets passed down. I would go to another seminar at the drop of a hat. Here's a clip of Kyles PR, Well done mate!
