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 session felt great and I had a really good pump. I also have a quite a bit of soreness today already and it hasn't been 24 hours yet.
