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...

2/4/10

T-Bone Strength 2/4/10

Recovery Stuff

Raw Bench

Did the 330 column of the Iron Chamber:
255x6
275x4
315x2
295x3
255x6

225x20

Experimented with banded weights to simulate chains, my chest is pulsating still!

Cable Flies: 60x20 2 sets

Incline DB Bench: 70x20 1 set

I think there is definitely something to those banded weights that simulate chains. The weight bounces all over the place making the bar very unstable and makes it much more difficult to press. I had only 20 pounds on each side then added a plate to make the total "weight" 175 and let me tell you the resistance steadily increases as you press the weight up. For sure there is a 10x3 in there somewhere with that set up.
