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...

Bench Day

2-Board Press
Raw Full ROM: Bar, 135x5, 135x3, 225x3,
Put on old F-6, Added Doubled Mini-bands,
135x1, 185x1, 210x3* Very Easy

Raw Full ROM Bench Press w/Dbl minis
135x8* Easy Again

Raw 4-Board Press w/Dbl Minis
175x10* Again real easy. Was supposed to be
an 8RM as 185 w/bands is my 5RM. Hit
8 and quit at 10 out of the belief I was straying
into bodybuilding. Let it never be so.

Hammer Curls
30x5, 35x5, 40x5, 45x5

45minutes of pure PR satisfaction. Ahhhhh,
the life of a Bench Specialist!

Strength!
