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...

Weights were not the greatest on this day. Only worked up to 4 plates per side on the Hammer Strength one arm row, which is very low for me. Tired and beat up. Need a deload. May have to postpone my attempt at an 805 reverse band bench and let my body heal up. Been hitting it hard for over 10 weeks plus so I think its time. Current goals include, but are not limited too:
500 raw
700 single ply
800+ multiply
Add mass on my arms
Increase upper back thickness

I feel this will contribute to a bigger bench. I currently have 22 inch biceps and 16 inch forearms. I think 24 inch biceps and 18 inch forearms is ideal. Make my shirt tighter and get more of a pop. We will see how this experiment goes.
