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.

Another pretty brutal leg day training. It started off good and strong, but by the time I got through the leg presses, I was cashed. My quads felt like balloons, and I really pushed the pace on this particular session as I was squeezing it in for the day. Really fun work for the day, but the drive to Indy to coach in the evening was not so fun.
