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...

Mega fried after this session. Mega happy about handling big weights raw. Having a shoulder that is healing and having a cns thats adapting to heavy weights again really helps. Can you believe Donnie Thompson hit 2900?!?!?!?! Thats freaking sick! I'm just trying to get 2000 :P Will have a 2000 total by end of 2009! Bench and strength is coming along. Weight is around 292 right now (I have no idea why, maybe because I have so much muscle the fatness is coming off?) Making 308 will be no problem unless I really want to try to diet down to 275....nah!
