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 morning I had a break in my schedule I typically don't have. I had a client out of town so I squeeze my training in there instead of the afternoon like usual. I didn't really want to train that early (8am), but it was best for my own time management for the day. So I drank a coffee around 7 and my pre-workout around 7:30. Needless to say by 8am I was ready to go.
