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...

T-Bone Strength 2-20-08

Max Effort Squat/Dynamic Effort Deadlift

Box Squats: Worked up to 475 plus green bands for 6 sets of 2 w/briefs
(Did an experiment afterwards which I'll mention later)

Rack Pulls w/doubled green bands: Worked up to 495 for a single

Speed Sumo Pulls: 6 singles with 315

Pullthroughs: 4 sets of 10 (2 sets with straight legs, 2 sets with bent legs)

Abs: 5 sets of 8

After box squats, I put a straight weight of 405 on the bar. When I unracked it, it felt like an empty bar! And it went up like an empty bar with just straight weight on a power squat. I mean it flew up, I was kinda amazed at how fast it went up. And I did this 405 with just a belt. 700 may fall at state! I really am digging these green bands. On the rack pulls the doubled greens were loose until I got the bar just over my knee and then it really started to kick in (the resistance that is). I mean it was tough. I used straps on the 495 and it felt heavy right after it went up past my knee. I love training, I love getting stronger all around, I am a powerlifter! Can't wait for state.
