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...

Kept the workout very fast. Scott learned that while the weights on a Dynamic Effort day aren't the heaviest in the world, that high rep and speed work is extremely tough when done correctly. Volume wasn't overwhelming. Schedule has been crazy last few weeks, now that things are slowing down I'll be able to get back into my regular routine which I hope will get me stronger.
