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...

Max Effort Squat/Dynamic Deadlift

Box Squats with Green Bands: 10 sets of 2 with 455
Easy single with 495

Partial Deadlifts: 405x5, 495x5*, 545x2*, 585x0 (I was totally gassed and my grip was dead)

Weighted Abs: 3 sets of 10 seated
3 sets of 10 standing

Short sweet and to the point. 495 with the green bands I absolutely smoked! I blew it up and my squat just continues to make improvements which will only help me in the long run. I'm pretty pleased with pulling 545 for a double on a partial with no straps. 585 wouldn't go today, my grip was just not there but I'm sure I'll get it soon. I can't wait to get my elite total!
