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...

I really am shocked at how easy it was for me to squat 505. I wore only a belt and knee sleeves (wrist wraps of course). Considering I've been competing as a bench specialist for a little over a year its kinda funny to think that I hardly train the squat and still can squat 505 as easily as I did (and to USPF/USPA depth too!). Those one arm seated cable rows are tough! Definitely they are going to find a regular place in my training routine. All in all a solid week of lifting. Back in the shirt next week to break that sucker in again.
