Lower Body (Again?) - Deadlifts (500x10) w/VIDEO, Front Squats & More

I'm currently in the early stages of preparing for 2016 USS Strongman Nationals which will be held on June 11th, 2016. My training focus is to continue to get stronger overall, continue adding some size and start working in strongman events again. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

I was suppose to do events, but mother nature had other plans. Due to a snowstorm I was unable to train events. I kept trying to push them off, but the ice on the road I train events on would not melt and it's not treated by the city. So I ended up having to skip that event day. 500 for 10 felt really good, but I was a bit gassed after it, ha.
