I'm taking the next 12+ weeks off from strongman events and training primarily for hypertrophy with a slight strength emphasis. I'm in my "off-season" and looking to put on some size over the upcoming months and into next year. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

This was my first full arm day in probably 6+ years. It was definitely fun for a change and I forgot how good it feels to have a huge upper arm pump. Nothing crazy, just putting in the work. This session was done on Friday.
