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...

Starting

So I'm coming to grips with not ever hitting a 200 kilo
competition bench. Not being the big, strong guy...That
may sound strange. OK, I did my second training day
after my shift. Here's what I did:

Warm-up Complex
Snatch Deadlift x8
Snatch Pull        x8
Clean&Press     x8
BB Row            x8
KB Squat          x8
Pahloff Press    x8

I completed 2 of these this time. About 2min rest in-between.
Working towards 5 complexes.


Bench Press
2 work sets of 10
1 finisher of close-grip bench x10

Power Curls
2 sets of 8.

Bodyweight tonight was 236.
