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...

Max Effort Bench

Raw 3-Board Press;315x3, 335x3, 365x3 (2 sets), 385x3, 405x2, 425x1*PR
Close Grip Bench:3x3x315
Lying Rolling Triceps Extension(I literally was on the ground):5x10x60
Dumbbell Rows:1x25x100 Each Arm

Solid Day in the bench cant complain. The numbers continue to go up in every lift I do. My left side felt like it wasn't there today or something and when I was doing warm-ups, 225 felt like the world, until I realized that my left side was hanging completely off the bench! I didn't have my shoulder blades together or a tight arch. It was a big difference when I got my proper set up, I felt like I could of done 225 for 40 if I needed to. The Casino Gym honestly needs to get bigger dumbbells, the 100 pounder is just way to easy for me for rowing. More weight!!!!!! Can't complain about the PR's though. I'll work 2-boards next week and we'll where that takes me.
