I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 APF Equipped Nationals, in Orlando, Florida on May 28th, 2016. I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps. The big picture is to prep for this meet, and obtain a top three placing to qualify for WPC Worlds in November.

Thursday's training was almost like a filler for this week. Nothing really changed all that much in terms of layout and work done, but it was just a lighter day of work compared to the other three main days (I'm certainly not complaining). Bench press continues to feel really good and things are syncing together. After training, I went and ate some Mexican with my mom, and then called it a night. Wish I had something else interesting to elaborate on, but...I don't.
