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 deload week is definitely in order!

Competition Bench:135x10, 225x8, 275x5, 315x1, 365x1
Put on Rage-X
5 singles with 405 (Had trouble getting out of the rack)

Facepulls:4x12

Pushdowns:5x12

Hammer Curls:70x5 (3 sets)

Shrugs:100lb Dumbbellx20 (2 sets)

The singles flew off my chest. I mean I have my shirt on loose and I'm able to drive 405 up like a toy. When I have it jacked, lord only knows what I'll be able to drive up. I had a lot of trouble getting the weight off the rack, the floor was wet and I couldn't get a proper set up and it showed when I had trouble getting weight off of the rack. My wrist was feeling off and the rest of my workout I just felt lethargic and just tired. I've been training about 8 weeks straight, heavy and hitting pr's fairly frequently so a deload week right now will fit perfectly in the scheduled plans for the state championship. I'll do some light recovery workouts this upcoming week and I'm sure I'll feel better and be 100% and in peak condition for state.
