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...

easily hit 605 and 625. A 315 PR put me
in the right frame of mind.

Really pleased with that workout. Opener and 2nd attempt were ridiculously easy. Attempts look like this

606 opener
622 2nd
633-661 3rd depending on how I feel.

What do you think?

You looked solid with that 315 floor press. Brought it a little high to your chest but you had the horse power to push it up. Major props my friend!

3rd attempts should be picked after 2nd attempts are destroyed and the Tiger Blood is spurting.
