Coming off of a 2nd Place Finish at USS Nationals in June, I'm now in an off-season hypertrophy phase for the next 12 weeks. My programming is based off of John Meadows Mountain Dog Training with a slight strength emphasis.

Notes:

-Overall great training day.

-I got a really good pump.

- I can tell a noticeable difference in my physique in the past year. Nothing crazy, just a little bigger and a little leaner.

-I'm enjoying the hypertrophy work for a change of pace.
