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...

Bench Day

Bar, 135x5 2 Sets, 225x2, 245x1, 275x1,
Miss 300, Miss 300

Put on new F-6 (50):
4-Board: 335x3 (last one touched), 355x1
3-Board: 355x1
2-Board: 355x1
1-Board: 355x1*
Full ROM: 355x0, 355x0

Raw BP: 205x12

Lots of missing. OK, I haven't missed
much at all for awhile. Seven days looks
like too long for me to not bench. Missed
getting 300, warm-up might have been
too much, too heavy. First time in a
shirt in months , probably could've been
smarter and stayed with boards.
It was cool to give 300 raw a couple tries.
Didn't feel much in the way of pop from the
F-6. PR on 1-Board...the battle is far from over.
