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.

I was pretty happy with this day. I wasn't sure how deadlifts would feel, but they felt pretty strong actually. I'm really liking how things are going right now and I can't wait to see what happens over the upcoming weeks and months.
