After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now taking some time to focus on competing in bodybuilding over the spring of 2017. My nutrition coaching is through Cliff Wilson, and I have not yet determined the shows I'm competing in at this time.

Monday's training session was a good one in the morning. I opted to get this training session in with Adrian as I knew she also needed to train as well. Monday's training is beginning to become one of my favorite days to train. While it's certainly a busy day for me schedule wise, the ability to get some solid work done at the beginning of my day just fuels the rest of the week for me. Granted it's a crunch on time, but I have yet to have a problem with fitting it in with about 40-50 min. Anyways, sufficient work, and a good pumped up day.
