After finally getting an off season training cycle in, I am now in meet prep for WPC World's where I will be competing raw with knee wraps in the 132 pound weight class in Baton Rouge, LA on November 7th, 2016. My goal is to earn my first world championship.

Wednesday's training was a bit different for me, as I opted to help the lady friend out with her squat. I normally don't do any real barbell work on this day, but since she asked me to help her out, I figured I would just get some technical work in while I was at it. I set a hard cap at 365 for the weight I could use for the day, and just opted to stick with some sets of 5 there. Things felt awesome, but it was more about me giving her some help and spending some quality time together. Anyways... I let her basically pick the rest of the training session, and I just tagged along modifying sets and reps based upon what would work for my needs. This was actually a pretty challenging training session, but I felt good about it. I'll take it!
