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...

5/4/2010 Island Strength

So I dropped the "contrasting 5th set". There's something there but I'll look into it at a later time. I down-loaded Glenn Buechlein's book "The Tao of B". Very cool. While Big Tony and I are getting way to much out of our 10x3 program to stop, some mods are in order after reading some of Power B's suggestions. Focusing more on paused 4-boards and movements such as Tricep Death and Beekers that extensions. I feel I still need extensions if for no other reason, I'm too weak at them. The principal of shoring up weaknesses is an overiding one.

So I give the book a big thumbs up. On another note; my custom protein mix from the proteinfactory arrived and tastes so much better than anyting I've ever tried. Just lucky. The mix is the recommendation from the dude at dangerouslyhardcore.com. Also got a pound of Leucine to pump up the mix. (Tony - ya gotta try this stuff)

First of all, why are you calling yourself island? Are you as big as an island? I mean, I don't get it? Wimp...

I'll try the stuff out. I had food poisoning this past weekend and I lost 15 pounds and I am eating everything in sight to try to get my body weight back up. If it'll make me fat, I'm down to try it!
