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 4-16-08

M.E. Squat/Deadlift

Box Squats: 135x5, 225x4, 315x3, 405x2, 495x1 (All Raw)
Put on Briefs: 495x1
Put on TRX Squat Suit, straps down: 585x1, 585x2, 635x1 (All easy and fast)

Zercher Squats: 135x3, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 315x2

Rack Pulls (Bar set 2 inches blow knee cap): 225x2, 315x2, 405x3, 495x1, 505x1

Seated Rows: 2 sets of 10

Abs: 5 sets of 10 (2 sets hanging leg raises, 3 sets weighted abs)

This workout kicked my butt! I'm really starting to learn how to use my squat suit and its showing. The weights are coming up incredibly fast and the suit is stretching which is allowing me to get to depth with more weight added on of course. I also switched stances from an incredibly wide stance back to my normal stance with my feet set just outside of my shoulders and my power was really noticeably different. Got a PR on the rack pulls considering I haven't pulled from that height in a long time I had no recorded PR so now I do!

Strength, it's what I do!
