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...

This is one day earlier in the week than I normally train.
I've been thinking I should do a deload and have been
researching current trends for it. Hitting some heavyish
reps and not doing the volume work after seemed worth
a try. This keeps me on track and hopefully I'll get some
rest.
