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...

I was able to get a collar-to-collar grip
during the squats with minor discomfort.
Did a shoulder warm-up and stretch, ankles,
and bottom position. Took a medium stance
with toes at about 45 degrees. Depth looked
ok.
