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 9/16/08

Max Effort Squat/Deadlift

My back is all healed up, and it showed!

Box Squats (Done totally raw): 135x5, 225x3, 315x3, 405x5 (2 sets)

Rack Pulls from height 5 (approximately an inch above my knee):
225x5, 315x2, 405x1, 495x2, 585x2, 675x1*PR, 705x1*****Huge PR (Yeah I wore straps so what)

Leg Press: 6 sets of 8 (Last set I worked up to 1100)

Abs: 4 sets of 12

My back is definitely healed up. The other day I couldn't even budge 405 off the floor or a rack height of 4 or 5 and today it flew up. 585 flew up like nothing. I was very happy with this session. Yeah I wore my belt and used straps on sets from 585 on up but ya know what I got the freakin lifts in and I'm damned stooked about it. I can easily see a solid 600 pound pull in my future. Very pleasantly surprised with how well this session went. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow! Mega happy that I'm healed up and way stronger than before!
