I'm taking the next 12+ weeks off from strongman events and training primarily for hypertrophy with a slight strength emphasis. I'm in my "off-season" and looking to put on some size over the upcoming months and into next year. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

This was the final session of my 12 week hypertrophy phase. Time flew by and I enjoyed the training. There's no doubt my body looks different than before. I definitely added some muscle and brought up some weak points. I'm looking forward to getting back to training for strength. I'm planning for big numbers this December.

This week I'll be doing my deload week and then next week starting my next training phase.
