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...

That was it. Need a clean 365
on Sep 15 to qualify for Worlds.
Too light for my good shirts, abit
heavy for the Poncho. I'll look
thru my shirt collection for the
right shirt.
*Actually I misread the IPL qualifications
for my age division.
A class-2 Single Ply bench is 270.1lbs.
I know...not a very good bench. So
I am doing the So Cal Meet in Long
Beach on Sept 15th and hit a qualifying
number.
