Here is my log from last year:

4/2006 - 8/2006

Shows my bench logs and how I had progressed.

The Hammer

Great log bud. Did you end up qualifying? Still training? Let us know…

Monopoly

No…bombed out. Went for 600 twice and could not get the bar down, dumped it on my chest. Went 625 on the 3rd attempt got it down, then maybe 4 inches back up then stalled.

As to my current training, see my thread in this forum entitled, “The Road Back from My Personal Hell”
