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.

Tuesday I got in more speed work and work up sets with the Yoke bar. I had a long day of rearranging the garage as I took a big step to order a new monolift! I'm thrilled to be able to have one of these in about the next month or so, so I took some time to get things figured out now. I skimped on the grip work because of that, because I was just moving a ton of stuff and didn't feel that I could give my grip the attention it really deserved.

Squats and such went very well, and I'm feeling rather good lately overall with training. It was a bit later of a session that I would have liked due to moving stuff, but the weather is improving and I can finally enjoy training with the nice weather.
