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...

Left at that point. Felt really drained and tired from the weeks. Strength is way down, but I'll be back to normal here shortly. Sleep has been way down but that will get better. Overall okay workout, fond of my new dumbbell handles, they have great knurling and are really heavy duty. Will let me do a lot of heavy dumbbell rows without having a fat grip which will greatly aid grip strength. Lots of positives.
