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.

Saturday's training was designed to set me to take my openers and then hit some light accessory work and cut out. While I had zero motivation to get out and train, I still got my work in and my lifts felt pretty good. I can tell I'm really closing in on the meet and that I've prepared pretty damn well. I don't feel beat up, but I definitely am starting to feel lethargic and just overall ready to compete (always a good sign for me after a 10 week training cycle is coming to an end). I've pulled my carbohydrate intake and am beginning to make the steps needed to make weight, so hopefully that goes smoothly.
