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 going to work the hell out of my close grip bench. I feel like its a fairly weak area for me and I like discovering weaknesses in my strength. Means I can work on them. Decided to do 10x3 with a weight that isn't mega heavy but at the same time was challenging. I'll work boards next week with my close grip. Should be good.

Overkill is coming...
