Levantando hierro
Uno de los mejores posadores de la historia del culturismo merece un post.
Ed Corney (9 de noviembre de 1933, Haway). Como nota, hay que señalar que empezó su carrera con 37 años. Sufrió un ataque al corazón en 1999 y por algún lado he visto alguna foto de Ed en silla de ruedas, pero parece que luego se recuperó e incluso siguió entrenando.
En su página web he encontrado una sección de preguntas y respuestas y hay algunas cosas curiosas:
-Habla de que entrena con 72 años (hoy tiene 75) y dice lo siguiente: I am able, at 72, to do Triceps Kickbacks with 130 lb dumbbells. I am often asked now at my gym, "why do you train with such heavy weights?" . . . My answer, "because I can!”
- Un internaurta que ha tenido 2 ataques al corazón le consulta sobre entrenar tras haber sufrido ataque al corazón y Ed contesta: “Congrats! We are survivors, NOT victims. Get in shape and beat them all! Remember, no one can stop you, but you.”
Ahí se ve el caracter del gran Ed.
Dejo su palmarés y algunas fotos, incluidas algunas de su participación en los masters, con más de 60 años.
