I'm currently training for USS "Hope for the Holidays" strongman competition that'll be in St. Louis on December 19th. I'll be competing in the max log clean & press and max deadlift events. I'm also still focusing on adding some size, but strength is my main emphasis. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming. After competing in December my next competition plans will more than likely be USS Nationals or NAS Plat+ next summer. I still feel slow on my pulls for some reason, but the speed deadlifts felt pretty good this week. I had to sub the DB overhead press for incline DBs because of the strained pec. I felt good overall and I'm liking how things are coming together. 11.28.15 A. Speed Deadlifts w/pro short light bands 6 sets of 1 @ 390# plus band tension B. Standing DB Overhead Press 80x6 85x6 95x6 105x6 C. DB RDLs 4 sets of 12 w/105# DBs D. Stir the Pot 3 sets of 10
