Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I'm running an off season training cycle, where my goal is to build upon my healthy movement, and hopefully hit the platform raw, full power in late 2017 or mid 2018, and rack up another 10x bodyweight total.

On Friday afternoon I got in a really quick arm training session. I was going to be going out of town to watch Purdue play their first night football game since installing their new lights. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a die hard Boilermaker and love me some Boiler football. I'm excited with the new season and what Purdue can put together over the coming years. Adrian had never been to a college football game, so we had a date night up to Purdue to catch the game and let me relive being a college student. It was a great evening and the Boilers came out on top over Ohio. Unfortunately I didn't get back until really late that night (2am), and had to be up early Saturday (5am) to travel to AWPC World's to coach my man Austin Elpers. All it a days work, but some good arm training and Purdue Football!
