A little about me

I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".

Feel free to follow along on the adventure...

Some of our regulars are training at the local gym - they'v e
got machines that you can "use the whole stack" on. Some will
find out that the steady results they got doing it old school will
soon be a thing of the past. Others won't find out and will quit out
of discouragement. As plain as I can say it - with few exceptions:
machines suck. Of course thats the scientific term.
Go Lancers!
