I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 APF Equipped Nationals, in Orlando, Florida on May 28th, 2016. I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps. The big picture is to prep for this meet, and obtain a top three placing to qualify for WPC Worlds in November.

Monday's training was super quick and pretty easy. Just enough work to get some blood flowing and muscle stimulated and I was out. Heavy deadlifts are on the menu for tomorrow, so I was trying to save my upper back, but address some other weak points as well. After the intensity deload weekend, I'm feeling much better and my sleep quality has drastically improved. I know that's probably going to start to fall off again as I peak, but that's to be expected. So far, clicking on all cylinders and ready to get this peaking started!
