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...

Solid Session here. I'm learning that in being a raw lifter, at least for the time being, volume is key, as well as stressing the CNS. Loving this type of training. Such a new challenge. We will see what happens in the future. Squats and Pulls tomorrow!
