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...

Great training Steve. Very much looking forward to having big weights in my hands next week. Also, remind me to bring a spray bottle to loosen up your shirt fibers so that you can touch easier. We'll play around with your shirt as well as mine so we can touch. I think we should concentrate on lowering the weights over a period of time and try to not do it all in one workout. Perhaps stick to two different boards (3 and 2, 2 and 1, etc) and gradually work our way down to our openers. What do you think?
