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...

Pullthroughs:3x6
Abs

The pullthroughs definitely worked my posterior chain in a different way than I'm accustom too. It was similar to a RDL (Romanian Deadlift) but also through in a big sticking point in just picking the weight up which was a very different feeling but I know it'll make me stronger.

Hey Steve, I'd be more than happy to tag along. Just let me know the particulars. Are Police Officers only allowed to compete? And I would definitely get clarification on whether or not you can use a shirt. Thats almost key to you going or not no?

I've decided I'm going for a big pr this Saturday with my dead to see if I can get over a peachy 500 dead and go for something worth while. If I have to hitch it oh well, its only training for me right now and then I'm going to go into another Coan/Phillipi routine cycle.
If you had to ask, you wouldn't understand!
