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...

Cut it short, not feeling right. Got all the benching
in, skipped DBBP and  DB Rows. Since I knew I
wasn't on I didn't go past 255 on paused bench. Old
habits die hard and I made my last slingshot bench
a max effort. Should have just hit 315 and gone home.
Using the RPE system allows you to hit the fatigue
goal for the day regardless of how you feel. I'll try
harder to do that and not turn everything into a max
effort situation. I paused extra long on the 325 and it
was a true 10RPE. Lol.
