My dad lifted on an old concrete weight set when I took to lifting with him. We would do our bench pressing on the floor. I dreamed about the day I could bench press on a bench. One day I was at teh salebarn with my grandpa, and there was an old bench for auction in the junk sale. Since most everybody was there for livestock and farm related items, I got it for $1.75. I was on cloud 9. Used it for years, but when I graduated to olympic weights, I sold it at a garage sale. I kinda wish I still had it, but I was hoping it would be as big of a thrill for some other young kid with dreams of benching on a real bench and becoming superman.

LAnce and I lifted. With all that has been going on and nursing yet another nagging injury, my main goal was just to get some numbers in so I didn’t have any postals where I didn’t compete. That is just about all I got accomplished.

Wow-I just read an article about him in M&F. Very influential in the iron game. It talked about how he was a businessman, but his passion was still the iron and lifting. I can appreciate that. MAde a huge mark. RIP

Sounds like a great meet. I wish I was able to go to heavy lift this year, sounds like Frank puts on a hell of a meet.

Dave you need to write a book. I guess I love your writing so, just cause I can relate. Didnt spend much time on the pine, but learned many of the same lessons from sport. Lessons much more than just a game, like the iron is much more than a heap of metal. write the book, and I will buy it

I have been the past 3 or 4 years to work. Not this year, cause the baby is coming soon. Too many people, but you get to see some cool things.
