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 was out of town in Louisville Friday-Sunday, so this session was moved from typically Saturday morning to Sunday evening. I didn't feel like training, but went in and got it done. Everything felt great and strong.
