No performance history

I have been doing Crossfit for 9 years at CrossFit Malibu. I also have achieved Level 1 Crossfit Certification. As a professor in sports medicine at Pepperdine University for the past 45 years I have taught fitness classes along with academic courses. I competed in the Reebok/CrossFit Games in 2012 and would love to have a 65+ masters category at least (I know 70+ is not happening). In 2016 I set the US Master's World record for both Olympic Lifts (clean and jerk and snatch) in the 70+, 63 kg weight category. In 2018 I set the World Records for both clean and jerk and snatch at the Master's World Games in New Zealand. I encourage you CrossFitters to try Olympic Lifting. Many of you are presently above the national and world records. No pressing out though. Arms have to go up and be straight. It was fun to get better at these lifts. Right now the training I did still benefits me even though I have not competed recently. I am grateful to be able to still do the workouts Rx in the 2020 open competition!
