I’m currently in off season mode working on bringing up certain qualities and weaknesses I noticed from the IPA Grand Prix Nationals. This training will be laying the ground for my training cycle into the 2016 XPC Finals.

Tuesday's training session was a rough day, but I managed to get some good work in. Lots and lots of variations and the intensity got ramped up pretty high for my deadlifts this week. Knowing that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I knew ample food and sleep would be coming for recovery, so it wasn't a bad choice. I'm glad to see that all my good mornings and extra hamstring work is beginning to pay off.
