Michael Jordan...is back on the court!
After some significant time off due to moving, injuries, and just plain and simply being burnt out, I am back!
I'll be training at the LA Fitness that is literally within walking distance of my work (I'm talking like walking from the Sheriff's gym to Vons walking distance). I've been fascinated as of late with the training of Andy Bolton, who like me, increased his bench by over 100 pounds in a year, and that is what I plan to do. I'm going to take the approach of less will be more. Maxing out all the time isn't necessarily the way to go. I've looked at weightlifters as my inspiration, they hardly ever max out. Heavy doubles, triples, and 5's. That is what they do and that is what works. I'll start my new plan tomorrow which will involve a bench day, a leg and back day, an assistance day, and a conditioning day, revolving around a 4 day rotation with maximum rest in between workouts. I plan on by years end having a 475-500 raw bench and a 545 slingshot and a 700+ shirted bench (be it single or multiply).
The evolution of T-bone strength is about to begin, I'm going to go from Elite, to Pro, join me for the ride!
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...
