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...

Updates for 10-22 and 10-23

10-22-07
Squats:135x5 225x5 315x5 405x5 495x1!! (Big PR considering I did it completely raw no belt, knee wraps, knee sleeves, or super suit! More than pleased with that)
Box Squats: Put on my new Inzer Trx which was incredibly difficult to put on.
495x3
585x2!!!
Did 4x2x495 afterwards, fully sitting back and coming back up. The amount of recoil that I get from the trx is amazing. I did 585 for 2 and I knew I had more in me!!!

Rack Pulls:Worked up to 495x5 (my legs and back were peppered at this point)
Back Extensions:3x8
Side Bends:2x12

10-23-07
Snatch Practice
Muscle Snatch: Worked with a 3 rep matrix and did 3x3 with 135 to start, then did my remaining working sets with a 3x3 with 155. Had a moment where my wrist buckled and that kinda freaked me out but no injury so all is well.
Hang Snatch:3x3x115
Side Lateral Raises:70x3x6
Pullthroughs:3x10
Abs

Pullthroughs are incredibly difficult! They work just about every aspect and part of the posterior chain with a great amount of effort as well. I really like the snatch its a fun lift. One thing im noticing is that on the muscle snatch, my abs are burning like crazy so I gotta increase abdominal strength. All in all a good two days of lifting.

UFC 79 Finally we get Chuck Vs Wanderlei Silva!!!!! Cant wait!
