I’m currently in meet prep for the 2015 XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival during the weekend of March 6-8th. I will be competing on Friday, March 6th, 2015 at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps.

Thursday called for more speed work and board work. At this point and I basically 2 weeks out. This was my last day of having carbs, so I was able to keep the volume a bit high and using those carbs to fuel me through the weekend ahead. The cutting of the carbs will be the first phase of getting my weight down and then I'll take care of what is left about 5 days out with my cutting methods. The way things are looking I'm right on target over where I need to be. The training wasn't bad, just getting in the work I need to and staying fast and healthy. One weekend of taking some heavier weights left and then it's pretty much cruise mode.
