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...

3 and 4 Board Press
Raw: Bar, 135x5, 225x5,
Put on F-6 and added doubled-minis
3-Board 185x3, 215x3* Ridiculously easy PR
4-Board 235x3* Crazy Insane Easy PR

Put on Rage-X (Size 54)
4-Board 355 (Straight weight) x3* Easy PR

Raw close-grip 3-Board 225x10

DB Rows
100x22, 100x12, 100x7

Tricep Rope Pushdowns
Ran the Stack 80-130, 6 reps each

For me I was strong 2-Day! Everything was light
and my lockout strength way way up. The Rage-X was
probably a size or two big as far as competition fit
goes. Still an impressice piece of gear.

Sweet work on the pr's! Sorry the Rage-X was big, maybe that just means you need to gain weight mr skinny mini!
