Dave Denis (den-KNEE) lives in New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die state. He worked for 16 years in the retail furniture industry in Michigan and Wisconsin, where he sold and trained others to sell all kinds of home furnishings including mattresses. He has been training with barbells in his cluttered garage for just about one year, having been schooled in the Starting Strength method. He is no record holder but he does pretty good for a 55 year old guy.

If it matters to anyone, my PRS (so far) on the 4 major lifts are as follows.
Squat 3x290
Deadlift 3x330
Bench 3x250
Overhead Press 3x170

Some of the topics we discussed included:

  • Mattresses for athletes

  • Various issues with mattresses:
    • Back Support
    • Pressure Relief
    • Sleep Quality
