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...

Wasn't all that motivated to lift. However, once I went in and the weight was moving as it was, I felt really good and decided to give a moderate single a try. 375+40lbs in chain went up really fast. Very pleased with that, considering I'm was so tired going in. Got the job done. 500 raw still the goal...
