# Lifting

In one way or another, I’ve been lifting weights from the moment of my senior year in highschool. It’s been on and off for better parts of decades, but I’ve been working out pretty consistently since my early 40s (and I’m from ’73, you do the math).

I started with powerlifting, focussing on pretty much only the deadlift, squat, benchpress and overhead press. Here are my current Personal Records:

Lift

Weight

267,5kg

Squat

Bench Press

Overhead Press

Since 2019 I’ve switched to strongman lifting–which is what you’ll mostly see me doing on Instagram and [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@fullstackhumanhq).
