I am currently in an "off-season" phase focused on putting on some serious bodyweight while still getting stronger. I'm also raising an awesome infant boy, while still working, training and living life. My next competition will be the USS National Championship in late June where I'll be competing in the 220# class.

Nothing too exciting about this session, but I did have a nice incline rep PR. My press seems to be responding to the higher volume work pretty well. Obviously the increased muscle mass is a factor, but the strength gains seem to be coming along just as nicely as the size.
