Over the years, I have taught all kinds of people from the couch potato to the professional fighters, individuals with special needs, young, old and middle aged and when that special event arrived they all agreed that the training was worth it. However, none them was truly tested to see just how fit they actually were.
Now let me introduce you to Ron. Ron is a jiu-jitsuian, former power lifter at heart and a safety consultant by trade. This safety consultant has lifted more weight than I ever could and is by far the most athletic person that I have ever known. Oh did I mention he is also in his 50’s. When Ron walked through the dojo doors of High Octane Fitness he was already the strongest guy there, however, he didn’t know how to use this strength to his advantage but within a couple of classes he figured it out. Ron continues to lift as do so many of us do to keep in shape, gain muscle or increase strength to compete in strength and endurance events. About a week or so ago Ron attended a safety conference and one of the booths offered a body composition analysis. Ron being one who likes to show off his hard earned health said what the hell and completed the analysis. To his and all of us at H.O.F. couldn’t believe his results. Ron was nice of enough to share his results. It goes to show to you that lifting heavy weights and practicing jiu-jitsu could literally change your DNA to more of a youthful inside.
