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.

Another day of some good fashioned speed work. I'm beginning to feel meet prep catch up to me as it took me a while to get my CNS primed to really get the bar moving. This is my last session to really hit any kind of volume for my lower body, so I hit everything I thought I would need before the meet as well. Things are really starting to taper off and there is only a few more sessions left until meet day. Still a good training day.
