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...

Countdown to Overkill is on.....

Speed was extremely fast tonight. Felt like doing speed benching to give my elbows a break. Heavy lockout work really helps me, but also beats me up. I'll get back to it next week. All is going in the right direction. Back is getting stronger and I know its helping my bench. Overall feeling confident for the future!
