I am going to tell you how to become a good Olympic weightlifter.  I am going to tell you how to make The Pan Am games in two years.  I am going to tell you how to be number one in two years, and break recoards in two years.  I am going to give you the secret free of charge.  Grab a pen and paper and write this down, you wont need alot of paper, mostly just guts, balls, and alot of determination.  The weightlifting program goes like this, snatch, clean and jerk squat maximum everyday.  But you dont want to talk about that, you want to talk about double knee bend, breathing technics, grip width, percentages, and light days.  What is a light day?  Please someone help me with this!  Why even come into the gym, stay home and watch tv while me and my california strength soldiers lift more than your max daily.  A light day to me is a sign of weaknes.  “If you have to run from a bear, your not going to tell that bear that you need some time to stretch and only run 85%, you are going to run maximum everytime”. -Donnie Shankle.  Do you think that California Strength put three of our athletes on the Pan Am team by going light.  Do you think I win by training light, haha if you do then your not winning.  I am numb to these weights, these kilo’s I kill.  This is what going heavy everyday makes you, numb.  I dont care whats on the bar anymore, I just lift it.  I love pulling on heavy bars.  I hate pulling on light bars, what’s the point it’s light.  Training like this turns me into a machine, I can go hard anytime, anywhere.  I want to point out something I get asked alot, and that is how do you train your body for such heavy loads all the time?  How long does the progression stage take?  The answer is I dont have an answer, just do it and stop talking.  I use the giant chip on my shoulder, and the hunger to be the best, whats yours?  “you can bleet like sheep, or be the Shepard”. -Donnie Shankle
