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...

Cinco De Mayo Bench Workout!

Raw Warm-ups: Barx12, 135x5, 225x3, 315x1, and then the PR of PR's 400 POUNDS RAW!!!!!!!X1 AND IT WAS EASY!

Threw Shirt On w/doubled blue bands on 3-boards: 135x3, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 305x3 and these were all easy

Doubled Mini Bench Raw: 235x6 went up fairly easy

Rolling Triceps: 50x12, 60x10, 70x8

Solid all around workout and I finally hit a very long term goal of a 400lb raw bench which I'm still on cloud 9 about. New goal is to hit 455 raw which will be a long ways off but its doable. I really believe 500 is very obtainable now. Really pleased with my workout tonight. Its my last max effort bench workout at the casino gym given its basically dead but I'll be training there til its dead and if/when I'm given the ok to train at the Sheriffs Station then I'll do some more hardcore training. Until then I'll be doing assistance exercises with a couple heavy days thrown in there.
