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...

9-13-07 Island Strength

Raw Bench: 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 185x10 (Close-grip)
Tates: 45x15, x10, x10
EZ-Curl Bar Rows: 2 Sets of 20

Very disappointed in the Sheriff's Dept weight-room.
Besides no one else in there to help me if... the
equipment is marginal. On the other hand at least I
have iron to lift. My program called for high boards,
there were no boards. Reverse-Band BP - no bands.
So I pushed some weight around full ROM and
actually have some DOMS today. Bwt is coming up
and some big benches lay ahead.
