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...

Did some bicep training, nothing special.

I compete on Sunday for the first time in well over a year. It'll be good to throw the old singlet on and go out there and bench raw. Its funny, never thought I'd compete raw, but it should be fun! I have this bum shoulder I've been dealing with the past couple of weeks which may inhibit my 220kg bench goal. Either way, I'll treat this meet like a ME Raw Bench Session. No expectations. I'll get qualified for nationals and then dedicate myself to a shirt and go from there!

Tony, I'm not going to be able to make it Sunday for the State Meet. Let me know how you do. With raw benching, timing your warm-ups will be the only real handling challenge. Best of luck! Perhaps we can both go single-ply Aug 10th at Chuck's Meet in Norwalk?

No worries. I'm not sweating this meet at all. I could do Chuck's meet. Hopefully I can get my shirt dialed in. I'll be on the island next month. We'll have to meet up.
