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...

The bands were very unstable today.
4-Pr of Dbl Minis would shake at arms
length and it was kinda creepy. We decided
to work with 2-pr and that was about right.
I am not the Garfunkle to Tony's Paul Simon.
I might be the Scotty Pippen to his Michael
Jordan... Like a bridge over troubled water...
