Health Benefits of Almonds in an Athlete's Diet
Not only do almonds provide the nutrition needed for speedy muscle recovery, they also provide some of the nutrients needed to replenish the nervous system after demanding workouts. Almonds are known to improve hearth health, reduce inflammation, and aid in weight loss. Thanks to a unique nutrient profile, almonds are among the most beneficial snacks that athletes can add to their diets.

Take a long term approach to your training - don't be a shooting star !
Getting to the top level in olympic weighlifting takes many qualities
One of most important things to take is a long term approach and keep consistantly chipping away at things....
Damo Ben Joel and Troy did not walk in and rise to their level in a couple of years it took 10+ years of dedication through lots of ups and downs and many sacrifices to get to where they are now
