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

Speed Bench with Quad Mini's: 135x3, 185x3, 205x3 (4 sets), 225x2 (1 set) 215x3 (2 sets), 210x3 (1 set)

Rope Pushdowns: 3 sets of 10

Incline Tates: 3 sets of 8 super strict

Chest Supported Rows w/middle grip: 3 sets of 10

Rear Delt Raises: 3 sets of 8

Quad Mini's are difficult! With 225 on the bar it felt along the lines of well over 500 at the top. I really was surprised at the difficulty of this. It was very doable and not exactly the craziest most difficult weight I've ever done and I could of done more but I was definitely surprised. Heavy shirted banded boards Monday!
