6 Weeks Out - Deadlifts (w/VIDEO) & Front Squats

I'm currently preparing for the 2016 USS Strongman Nationals which will be held on June 11th, 2016. My training focus is to continue to get stronger and prepare and peak for the events at Nationals. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my nutrition and programming.

Today felt great. The deadlifts moved good and felt strong. The front squats got tough towards the end, but it was just as much mental and physical. So that wasn't a problem. I just pushed through and got done what needed to be done.
