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...

Dynamic Bench Day

Competition Bench: 135x8, 225x6, 275x3 (all super easy)
Added doubled mini bands: 275x3 (9 total sets, 3 different grips)

Floor Rolling Triceps: 50x8 (2 sets), 60x8, 70x8*PR

Chest Supported Rows: 3 platesx8, 4 platesx8, 5 platesx8, 5 plates+a quarterx3

Lat Pulldowns: 3x8

Shoulder Raises (3 different angles): 3x10

All in all a good workout. Checking back in my logs a few weeks ago I saw that I struggled with 275 plus doubled mini's and now it wasn't too difficult for me at all. I'm going for 295-300+doubled mini's next week, so look out for some huge pr's to fall. Really pleased with my bench progress, and my 500 pound bench will fall this year mark my words, in single-ply gear. When we go to double ply gear, who knows what may happen?!
