Life with a Weightlifter....

When T was doing TaeKwonDo Sparring Training I thought he wanted to eat a lot.  That training has nothing on weightlifting training.  He's hungry all the time now.  We are giving him a ton of protein because the coach told us that's what he was going to be needing to eat.  

Another new normal for us is the bruising he gets from the snatch on the two collar bone knobs just under your neck in the front.  I'm sure there is a technical name for them but I don't know what it is.  When he does the snatch the barbell rests across the shoulders and on those bones.  I got a pic of T when he was fooling around and making different silly faces last night that also has those bruises where you can see them.  Take a look:












He's looking more grown everyday.  This is what his hair looks like when it's clean and not oily looking from sweating all the time....LOL!! 

This is what part of the snatch looks like:












The first part of the snatch is in the banner pic at the top of our blog page.  I'm still learning all the terminology in this sport.
