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...

Nice heavy workout. I'm going to have to go
back a ways on the full ROM BP w/minis to
see if 160x5 is a big bump or not. Tony has a
good idea I think to use boards with JM Presses.
If it works we can quantify this movement
alot better.
