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...

End of cycle, end of de-load. 265 for a
double is way up from where I was. Next
week I start a Daily Undulating Periodization
program, two days a week of benching. Two
bench variations per training day, a heavy
tricep movement, with a couple beach
movements thrown in. This is gonna be interesting.
Looking to be in 280lb land for a paused double
at the end. Bwt is around 248-249. I need to be
more disciplined in getting good protein and
clean carbs. Supplements include whey, creatine,
and L-Leucine. The 60 year old age group is
available on May 17th and I plan to compete as
soon as I have a 300 paused bench. Blessings.
