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 much lighter than last week. I'm really enjoying the waved approach that I'm putting in on my DE Lower days. I have days where I get to push it a bit, and others where I get to pull the reigns back, and I feel like this is what is allowing me to keep training hard and seeing such good progress lately. Unfortunately I had to train solo, so I had to rig up my mono to pull by itself. It's not the end of the world, but I'm glad that it was a lighter day in terms of squatting. Really nothing terribly exciting in terms of weight moved or numbers, just one of those sessions that you've got to get in to keep moving forward.
