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...

Abs
Lots of em

The weight on the squats wasn't anything at all. In fact it was all fairly easy. I have to get use to squatting with a belt on again which I tried on my last two sets and worked mainly on form. I was shocked at how fast I pulled 405. I have a plan of working a lot of sets in the 12-15 set range for my abs to get them stronger. Couldn't hurt right?
