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 after working with some clients I got in my extra work for the upper body, but extended it a little bit. I knew that with the meet over the weekend that I was going to be slacking on my accessory work, and as such I'm going to use these mini sessions this week to try to make up that work. Things were a bit heavier, but all in all, I still felt pretty good in terms of training. I was without a doubt still tired from the long weekend, travel, and then having to get up super early to still work with clients after getting back in town after midnight. Just part of the game, and I tried to make this as quick as possible and get out. I was thinking about taking the day off of training, but I knew that I needed to get in and do something. I'll catch up on the sleep over the course of the week. The real training is just starting to begin, and I'm ready to make a good push for a good showing at Nationals.
