Success & News

Yesterday, was our Open House at the Risto Sports Training Center. It was a great sucess. Along with myself, Coach Ivan, and LG, we had appearances by Carlos Andica, Ferdinand Sinatra, and Dr Herrera.

Of course, all were decked out in matching Risto Sports gear. Carlos has an amzing physique just from lifting and accentuated it in his Risto compression pants and Hoody.

To kick-off the event, Carlos Andica and I completed a workout commentated by Dr Herrera. The Dr related concepts such as intestiy zones and volume to the exercises we were completing. Little Gwen also put on a good show of technique. Oh yeah, we'll have a video out of it shortly. Afterwards, several of our lifters had an Open training session.




Carlos Andica looked very strong. He played with some big weights including 185Kg C&J; testing the volume and number of repetitions which would get him to his clean and jerk goal for the PAN AM Games. I am really amazed by his technique.

Certainly, I had seen him lift multiple occaisions, before, and what is truly amzing is how the bar glide so close to him, repeatedly, repetition after repetition. He is so consistent. He definitely has great focus and is able to maintain it even with communicating with coaches.

On a personal note, I have lost soooo much bodyfat on my latest mesocycle. I got so cut that someone actually asked me if I was CrossFitting or Paleo dieting on the side. Nope, 100% insanely hard training and very clean diet. The Dr commented that I have completed the same number of repetitions in my last cycle as a world Medalist. Hmmm, with just a little more leg strength and pulling the bar a few cm closer, anything is possible.

I am also excited to announce that we will have National Teams train at our facility. Finally, all the amazing results and training services I just described will be available to the general public, scaled to the athlete's level. Yes, we do strength and conditioning services for any sport. You can even train here for fitness.
