2006 Update !
I got a 501 bench at 298 bodyweight,63 years old... in my first meet of the year the BCPA Winter Open Feburary 12th ...I also lifted 507 but it was turned down 2 to 1 --both weights were light and easy...I got the best lifter trophy in the Bench only OPEN mens category...not the "masters" section...a nice feeling to 'out luck' the young guys ! --Now to do at least this at the Nationals it would be an IPF World Record you know !

Ross Missed his lifts on this day but is one strong bencher he would've beaten me (on lighter bodyweight) if his lifts would've gone..Ross is a many times BC Bench champ here he tries 501 !

Tom came home with reports of an awesome contest with excitement for all the lifters and audience...this is the kind of contest that features loud music and power adrenalin...some true outlaws lifted and had a blast..and BC's Tom Horlitz represented well.
