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...

455x3

Good session. 455x3 is probably a pr but I honestly could care less. Its a 4-board. Anyway...

I have a simple philosophy in going into this state meet. My split is as follows:

Day One: Max Bench
Day Two: Legs, Back, and Assistance.
Day Three: Rotate Lockout, Speed, and Repetition Work.

I also will only use boards raw. I plan on working in my shirt and focusing on benching weights full range in my shirt sort of a Metal Militia philosophy. I am determined to get a decent lift in when I return to the platform. Will get into my shirt after the first of the year.
