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
1st things 1st. Congradulations to Big Tony for hitting a raw 400lbs bench. And
it looked easy! Well deserved.

3 Board Press w/Dbl Blue Bands

Raw, full ROM: Bar, 135x5, 225x3, Put on New F-6
3-Board w/Blues: Bar, 185x3, 205x3*

Raw Bench Press w/Dbl Minis
145x7* (This was a 6RM and I added 1 to grow on)

Raw 4-Board w/Dbl Minis
195x5*

Rolling Extensions
35x10, 40x10 3 Sets*

Great workout. PRs on everything. I'm no where near peaked
out. This is a basic strength routine. Looking for some nice
PRs when I test my Comp Bench again.

The Casino Gym is dead. Long live Avalon Public
