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.

Wednesday's training session was packed with volume! I loaded up on the supersets to keep the training intensity moving throughout the whole session and try to get a really good pump. By the time I was done, I felt like my arms and shoulders were going to explode. For reference, this training session barely took more than an hour after a brief warm up. I feel like I'm doing a great job of dialing in some of the details, but it's now just time to keep at it. As the food keeps getting lower, I suspect that I'll need to trim the volume down a bit, but with 270 grams of carbs still, I can keep pushing it for now.
