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...

Actually a good workout. Got some volume in, and manhandled some weights. Really happy with the 365x5. Really am going in the right direction. Planning a big move here soon, hopefully it works out where I move back and train with the AGF again, we will see! Planning on attempting 405 raw next week which should bring me back to my normal speed here shortly.
