This April, I competed at CPU Nationals, placing second in the 63kg open category with an 825 lb total, just one pound behind first place. With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.


 

I will be trying a new format for my logs that should be easier to follow. I will post two logs a week, one log showing training for the entire week, and one dialogue summing the week up. This will make it easier for you to follow the type of training I actually do, including all my light/accessory days. In my dialogue posts I will sum up my training, diet, energy, body weight, and will try to get Steve to input his thoughts on my training for the week. I hope to show the good days, more of the bad days, and give you less frills, and more nitty-gritty. I am human, and I have bad training days just like everybody else, It's just much harder to log the bad days.
