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...

Max Effort Bench

Was able to borrow some green woody bands from the gym today. Decided to go freaking stupid crazy heavy!

Reverse Band Bench:
Raw Warmup
135x5, 225x3, 315x2, Threw on the green bands
Still Raw: 405x2, 455x1
Threw on Rage-X
495x1
Added 2 Board
515x1
545x1,
585x1!
605x0 (Like I said, crazy stupid heavy!)

Pushdowns: 3 sets of 10

Rolling Triceps: 1 set of 34 reps w/45's

Pulldowns: 2 sets of 8

Seriously I was dead after this workout. My CNS is fried like crazy. Feeling 600 was just unbelievable. Do I think I can bench that? Not any time soon, it was crazy stupid heavy! I really liked the way I was able to handle such immense weights though. I definitely think that I'll rotate reverse band board bench in my routine every now and then as a way to just completely shock my CNS.

Crazy stupid heavy!
