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 session all around. Quad mini's are extremely humbling. They are very difficult. Proud to get 315+with the quad mini's on a lift. The tension is really something else. I think all of us were surprised at how difficult they were. Definitely going to be a mainstay in our routine. I plan on doing band work with every speed workout from now on and I think it will help me greatly with my lockout and strength off the chest, as well as help out Steve and Scott. Both have increased their technique greatly and are poised for a big lift here soon. Deload week next week for all. I plan on taking a max attempt with my SlingShot next week and see if I can get close to that 500 mark.

Getting Stronger is fun, especially with great guys to train with!
