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...

My first time benching with chains and I gotta say I really like them! They make it seem like there is extra weight on the bar and the bar wants to force itself down which adds crazy resistance. I could probably do around 5-6 chains per side, but the quaded mini's in addition made the total tension according to a buddy of mine roughly around 460 pounds of tension which felt like it! I'm getting there. I'll be on the island tomorrow morning, hopefully that Never Enough Bench DVD is there so I can watch it perhaps!!
