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...

11-16-07 Island Strength

One-Board Press

Bar, 135x5, 225x3, Put on F6
275x3, 300x3 ** So Easy! 25lbs PR

Incline Press
205x2, 195x4, 185x3-2-1
So these seemed to be a disaster
until I realized my hand spacing was
way too close. Pinky on rings is my normal
spacing. I had hoped to get a 205x5-4-3-2-1
and will next time.

DB Rows
60x5, 95x20*, 95x10, 95x5

JM Press
135x10 3 Sets

Rope Push-downs
70x20

No elbow pain during JMs.
300x3 shirted 1-board. Lots in the tank.
Hey, this is fun!

Fellow iron benders: Never call a leg-press
a squat or a smith-machine bench a bench press.
Make your yes, yes and your no, no. Powerlifters
and MMA Fighters (and our troops!) are some of the
last tell-it-straight men left.
