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...

Weird Workout. We must are
gonna smash weights at state cause
we (mostly me) stumbled through
openers. I brought 385 to my
belly-button, drug it back into the
shirt and felt a twinge in my left shoulder.
Tried it again and shut it down when
I felt the shoulder again. 405 to a 2-board
wasn't as bad and I made it but still too
low. Tony looked good though the touch
with 585 was tough and hit the j-hooks
just before lockout. 600 to a 2-board looked
sweet. Shutin it down and we'll do just fine
at state.
