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...

T-Bone Strength Week of 8-25-08 til 8-30-08

I've written down all my workouts and it would be a freaking book to type them all in. All I can say is that yesterday I loaded a 300 stone for 8 reps in 50 seconds which was pretty schweet, although I have a pull in my right bicep now its all good, pain is just part of it!

My focus right now is to increase my deadlift and squat strength, while incorporating explosive and dynamic lifting into my routine. (Yes Steve I'm still benching don't freak out :P) But I'm concentrating on becoming fast in every aspect of powerlifting and strongman. I pulled 500 the other day for a double and both reps were very fast off the floor. Everything is coming together.

I'll post my new routine in the coming days. All I can say is that I'm going to have freaky upper body strength by the time I'm done. I expect to have at least a 435 raw bench by the time I'm complete this routine given the heavy emphasis on working the lats, triceps, shoulders, and chest.
