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...

Good all around workout. 455 is nice, but not quite where I want to be, I'm looking for 475ish by state which I should be able to get. My spotters tried to take the weight when I pressed it up, felt kinda weird at first but I locked it out just fine. I really like those JM Presses, I'll get stronger using those! 500 will fall!
