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...

A solid workout back after a bad workout on Saturday:

Floor Presses:135x10, 225x4, 315x3, 335x3, 355x3* (PR and 3RM)
365x1, 385x1, 405x1 (PR and new 1RM on the floor!)

Dumbbell Bench Press:100x10 (5 sets)

Bodyweight dips:5x5

Chest Supported Rows:4 platesx8, 5 platesx8 (2sets), 6 platesx5

Triceps Pushdowns: 120x8 (7sets)

A great solid workout back. I undercut 405 just a little bit and didn't come down all the way where my triceps touched the floor, it was about a couple of inches or two above the ground, but still it was a pr of a press that didn't involve a board with a 4 in front of it (if that made sense!). The 100 dumbbells were so seriously easy on the db bench they went up with some serious velocity and it went up like a T O Y (no typo there!). My upper body was kinda like what the heck is going on and it was a good change of pace workout which felt great and everything went up 100% solid. Things are back on track!
