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:The Rage-X Unleashed

Raw:135x10, 225x6, 275x3, 315x1
Put on my new Rage-X:315x3, 365x3, 405x2 (Felt like an empty bar), 455x1
Shirted 3-board:455x2, 500x1!!

Close Grip Bench:275x5 (3 sets) 315x1
Pushdowns:130x8 (6 Sets)
Chest Supported Rows: 3x8 (5 plates)

I cant speak enough for how great of a shirt the Rage-X is. 405 went up like a toy and was super super easy. I'm more than confident that with the proper time to learn the shirt, 500 will fall! Hey, this is fun! Look out its time for the big numbers to fall down!
