Strasbourg - Weightlifting fans will be happy to know that Marc Huster is at the European Weightlifting Championships, where the lifting begins tomorrow.

Huster will be working as a commentator for Eurosport and that should be a big plus for everyone watching their coverage.

Marc said he is weighing 83 or 84 kilos, so even though he appears noticeably trimmer, he weighs about what he did in the days when he was cleaning and jerking 215 kg. Marc said he lifts once a week, and plays football (soccer) once a week. His training consists of deadlifts and squats, both done for sets of five reps, working up from 130 to 180 kg in 10-kg jumps. A little ab work finishes things off, Marc said.

In addition to his TV work as a commentator and a presenter, Marc is now a partner in a waterbed business, which he said gives him the challenge of expanding a business.
