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...

Was really pleased with this session. My main concern was if my back was going to hold up. It held up very well. I'm fairly confident in my speed. In doing this mini cycle of speed work, I can definitely say that there is a difference in how fast I blast weights off of my chest as oppose to a month or so ago. I'll add one band next week w/185 bar weight and see what happens. Very pleased with my progress. I have a feeling a big number is in store for me in Vegas. Will do Max effort bench on Thursday and do my accessory day Friday, switching my accessory day to Friday really has helped.
