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...

This was a mother of a workout. Lots of volume. Really need to continue to work the lockout and get use to holding big weights again. Solid session and I'm going to continue to work this lockout towards the big goal of the 700lb barrier.
