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...

Training raw, well, its just awesome! Its so much fun. A lot less stressful. In recent weeks, I hit a 500 raw bench. It was a crowning achievement in my lifting career. I now have to work on pausing it and doing it in competition. Meanwhile, I did this today:

DB Bench:
10 sets of 10. Each set I paused each rep. This will kick your butt.

Incline Barbell Bench
Worked up to 275 for a couple sets of 3

Barbell Front Raises
3 sets of 15

Side Laterals
3 sets of 12

Tricep Pushdowns
3 sets of 15

Rear Delt Machine Thingy
3 sets to failure

Abs

Lots of volume. I need it. I don't have gear to rely on so I have to increase the volume in my training. Squats and Deadlifts on Saturday. Glad to be posting again :)
