MARNIE HOLLEY – THE FIRST POLE-VAULTER AMONG THE FITNESS STARS

When I was going through the Competitor’s Information Forms collected during the athletes’ registration at the recent World Women’s Championships in Santa Susanna, I noticed, with surprise, that one fitness competitor practised pole-vaulting at national level.

There is one tall classic bodybuilder in the IFBB, Bjorn Vestrum Olsson from Norway, who competed in high jumping but Marnie Holley is the first IFBB competitor with the pole-vaulting experience. She was also doing gymnastics and diving, so has had a comprehensive background for performing fitness at top level.

 The first part of the Championships started Friday afternoon with Technical Meeting, followed by the official weigh-in and height measurement. As usual, it took few hours, as each athlete should be measured and registered to produce the official Start List.

Friday 27 May 2011: TRIPLE-UPs

TRIPLE UPs: PULL-UP, SIT-UP, PUSH-UP


Perform as many supersets of pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups as possible in twenty minutes.

A superset is done by performing one set of each exercise back to back to back with little or no rest in between. Choose a number of reps that is well below your max to prevent early burnout during the training session. The training effect today will come from the overall volume of exercise combined with short rest periods, not max effort sets. Rest between supersets as necessary.

Intermediate and Basic trainees should substitute assisted, partial, or jumping pull-ups, body rows, crunches, and knee push-ups as necessary.

Today's workout was developed by Bryce Lane.

B-CIRCUITS

Complete as many circuits as possible in twenty minutes.

If you are not accustomed to plyometric training or are obese, perform the Basic WOD.

Advanced:

  • 12 Short Range Squat Jumps(Half-Squat Jumps: Squat until your elbows touch your knees and thighs are parallel to ground and then jump for height or distance)
  • 12 Full Range Squat Jumps(Deep Squat Jumps: Squat deep until your hands touch the ground and then jump for height or distance)

Are you tempted to cheat on the jump as your legs become tired? Try Traveling B-Circuits by jumping for distance instead of height. Try to cover the same total distance on each circuit as the workout progresses to ensure that you are pushing yourself adequately.

Post results to Comments.

B-Circuits are covered in Bryce's excellent booklet Fitness Secrets of the Road Ninja. I also highly recommend The Booklet of Bodyweight Power and A Mighty River of Steel.

Dejager (Canada), 2006 Worlds runner-up, had no problem this time as she won with the perfect scores over the last year Arnold’s runner-up Millie Cleveland (Bermuda).


 But there was a very tough battle in the heavyweight class between Rita Bello (Argentina) and Alevtina Goroshinskaya (Russia). Finally, both girls received the same scores in total and Bello placed first due the better score in the physique assessment round in the finals (now it is the 2nd round).

This year Arnold Championships women’s bodybuilding was fully international, with 30 athletes representing 11 countries and 4 continents. They provided top emotions and showed top sport quality.
