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...

Out. Was feeling a bit fatigued and drained going in so I just got the work done and left. Kinda laughed at getting 225x40. Apparently this is the standard for all pro NFL lineman to reach to be considered strong. So I'm as strong as an NFL lineman? No, I'm way, WAY stronger on the bench. 365 was fairly easy. May try a semi max raw on Thursday (Thinking 210-220kg). Only 3 weeks to go!
