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...

Raw 3-Board Press

Full ROM Bar, 135x5 2 Sets, 225x3
3-Board 275x3, 315x1 miss 2nd rep, 315x0
It had to happen. No PR. I tried for a 15lb PR
though I felt terrible from changing shifts (tired).

Reverse-Band BP
285x5-4-3-2-1* 5Lb PR

JM Press
135x8, 145x6, 155x4

DB Rows Elbows Out
65x10 3 Sets*

Rope Push-downs
80x5, 90x5, 100x5, 110x5, 120x5, 130x5, 140x5

So, no PR on the 3-Board. All kind of reasons (excuses)
However, next time I'll be ready for a PR! Period. I should note
however that a 315 raw 3-board is a 15lb PR for 1RM. I was trying to
get 3 reps however.
