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...

Getting there. Everything felt easy. I feel like I need to warm up more for more sets. The first time I did 275 I did it for a single, it felt like the weight of the world. Second time, I smash it for 5 reps. Gonna do a lot of high volume almost bodybuilding type work in addition to power work in order to add lost size. So far so good, will squat and pull tomorrow. On track to get my world title back.
