I’m currently in meet prep for the 2015 XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival during the weekend of March 6-8th. I will be competing on Friday, March 6th, 2015 at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps.

Sunday was my final big bench day, and similar to my squats and deadlifts I was taking my opener, but this time also my second. Things look very strong here on my bench and I'm glad how this day went (compared to my squat/deadlift day). The amount of overall work is slowly starting to dwindle down to not much, but I did enough to keep my blood flow going and still attack some weak points. It's been a few days without carbs and my weight is already starting to fall off. No affect to performance though, so everything is right where it needs to be as a whole. Two more major sessions left, then it's cruisin' until meet day.
