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...

515 was a little bit of a struggle but I got it. I had more in the tank, but decided to shut it down. Letting my elbows rest definitely a good idea. Will continue to hammer at this 500 raw bench. Need to do some fine tuning to my training. Will get back in the shirt shortly.
