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 the upper back training with deadlifts, squats, and rows is really paying off. I absolutely smoked 405 on the first rep and was shocked I did it so easily to be honest, it went up like an empty bar so I said screw it I'm going for two, granted the second rep was difficult but I got it up! Pr's all over the place tonight and IC is Thursday. I believe we'll be getting back into our shirts soon so I think I'll be good for around 650+ for the USPA State Championships. We'll see how training continues to go, so far so good.

Just a couple weeks from starting shirt training. Your raw strength has gone up dramatically. This will be an even better year for your lifting and you won a world championship in 2010!
