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...

Well the training is going well. I'm not quite certain if its
Daily Undulating Periodization or Linear Periodization
but whatever it is I'm seeing results. A couple areas I am
going to tweak are volume and specificty. So I'll start an
eight-week cycle in May with more of both meaning less
accessories. While I'll keep touch-n-goes during the hyper-
trophy phase (now 3 weeks long), the 1ct competition
bench will be where volume is made from a 5x5 plan on
week 4 thru a 3x2 on week 7-1/2. A 1RM test will follow.

A row or pull-down is still programmed in but I needed to
put something in-between my last 1ct bench set and my
close-grip bench AMRAP "finisher" that has helped me so
much this training season.

August 1st is my planned qualifier competition for Worlds
and for now I intend to compete raw and single-ply in
Atlanta.
