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'm the large one now? I've dropped weight and I'm still the fatty around town...eh oh well!

Your biggest thing is your confidence. You let yourself get defeated way too quickly and if your defeated mentally, physically you wont be able to push up the big weights. When you really concentrated on getting up on your traps, weights went up like a joke, when you didn't, you missed. Gotta concentrate on technique as well as not letting yourself get beaten.
