Brief Update:
I didn't write down the dates of my previous training sessions but everything is going very well down here in San Diego. I've hit a 505 4 board in my shirt fairly quickly and I straight up smoked it. Training with guys who do 500+ raw down here is nuts. I'm use to being "the guy" back home on the island and here I'm a little weakling! I got to squatting again and I've hit a 735 box squat with the straps pulled up on my TRX suit and pulled a strong 545 with no problem in my MAXDL suit. Things are going very well. I will be staying in bench only through the end of the year and then go from there. My current split is going as follows:
Monday: Max Effort Bench
Wednesday: Squat and Deadlift Training
Friday: D.E. Bench
Saturday: Shoulders and Biceps
I'm going to smash 500 later this year. I see me smashing even 600 later this year at the rate I'm going at and the equipment I'm using. I have ordered a super phenom so I can start to acquire 2ply gear and get ready for the UPA California State Championships I believe next year. I plan on doing 2 more contests this year and then going to just train until next year. Look out folks!
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...
