I’m currently in meet prep for the RPS Lexen Spring Fling in Columbus, Ohio on May 9th, 2015. I will be competing in my first multi-ply meet, going bench only at 148 pounds.

Well I'm back to recycling through some speed work and boards. Another pretty good training session, and I threw in some reverse band incline. My triceps were smoked by the end of the session, so it was a good one. My body was appreciating being out of the shirt, as my speed work felt pretty good. I now see how people aren't in the shirt all the time...3 weeks was enough. But I'll be back in it for another 3 weeks and then it's time to see what I've got.
