I've been married for nearly 20 yrs and have 2 kids, Dan, who is just about
to turn 16, and Heather, who is 14 1/2. Both are active in sports. Dan is a
sophomore in high school and plays football and wrestles for his school and
also plays baseball. He lifts with me irregularly due to his sports schedule,
but he does pretty well, with a 400+ box squat, 200 bench and 375 deadlift.
Heather is a freshman. She plays fastpitch softball, where she pitches and
plays 1st base. She's a great hitter too. She's been lifting with me some as
well and is doing a great job with a full body workout to help her gain
strength for softball.

I've been lifting for about 4 years. I started out with my friends in the
basement, doing the "bench and curl" routine that everyone seems to do when
they start out. It was more for the recreation and to hang out with the guys
than anything else. Then I started reading on the internet and discovered
squats, deadlifts, and cleans. We incorporated those into our programs and
started to make some gains. I've been doing more of a powerlifting routine
for about 3 years now, and over a year on a 4 day a week program that has
given me the best results so far. My current bests are a 505 squat, 325
bench, and 525 dead, all in my home gym. My goals are to squat and deadlift
in the mid 500's, and bench in the mid 300's this year. I'm looking forward
to my 1st competition and many more after that.
