Adam Nelson vows to ‘fill void’ with meets, seminars for over-40s

Olympic champ Adam Nelson, aiming for his July 1 Olympic Trials shot event, is getting ambitious at 40. He’s starting a biz he calls Strong at 40 that will fill “the massive void of information and opportunities” for athletes over 40. Hoooo-kay! He’s promising to hold seminars and meets for fellow geezers — and also start “an amazing community.” Adam especially wants our money — seeking donations at tiers from $25 to $10,000. We wish him luck, even if he’s clueless about the masters and Senior Olympic circuits, National Masters News, decades of research, and serious clubs and coaching in older-adult T&F.

    Geez Ken!
    Adam is right, there is a huge void of information when it comes to strength training for those of us 40 and up. As a thrower I am personally looking forward to his project and his comeback. I’m happy to support him and see where it goes.

    Look at it rain, (which you can see out the window), during the last 30 seconds of his video!
