Ok, so Saturdays are the day I usually put up my own composition, an attempt at a somewhat witty, informative and insightful look at the life changing, fountain of youth, elixor of life type movements we promote here at the blog.
Well, while I'm waiting for my nomination for a documentarian of the year award for my efforts, I'm going to take a break from that for a moment and show you something central to our philosophy here. Why do we do all this? Why work so hard.
Here's why. Meet Johann Martin, a Hungarian athlete. He's trained with kettles and body weight oriented movements his whole life. While you watch, please remember, in many of these clips, he's just past his 63rd birthday. The video spans from 1967 through today. This man still maintains many of the movements at very similar loads to what he lifted in years past.
Ever seen those late night/early morning commercials for battery operated, motorized scooters for the elderly?...This is why we train so hard.

Good find!
But he is definitely not a Hungarian Athlete, but a German Weighlifting Coach. He was born in Kazakhstan as a German citizen, maybe that is where the confusion has begun. Since 1993 he lives in Germany, where he is coaching mostly adolescens in weighlifting and strength training for other sports like American Football.
