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...

My left elbow has been giving me trouble.
When I bench it's ok, but swinging plates
on and off the bar kill me from my elbow
all the way up to my hand. This deload was
easy and fast. No hand-offs, no spotter.
