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...

Bench speed was very good. About a
2-second pause. Squats continue to
improve and shoulder tightness is getting
better.

Starting 8-rep work sets tomorrow, week 3
of this cycle. I'll do one more hypertrophy
cycle after de-loading before starting a strength
cycle. Waiting to see a date for 2017 state meet. Then
I'll count back to include a brief peaking cycle and strength
cycle.
