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...

Congrats to Scott on finally getting 275! Wish I could of been there to see it.

Hey Steve, we all have bad days. Sometimes, even when in meet prep, you have to take a step back and say, if your not 100% into it, take the day and do something else, high rep stuff or take the day off completely. Heal up, brush this one off, and get back at it next week.
