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.

Saturday's training was a simple deload. This isn't much different from what I do before most meets. The only goal is to get some blood flow work in and just keep moving, while dialing in some technique and keeping a little bit of weight on the bar. I know many people like to take the week of a meet entirely off, but for me, doing SOMETHING, even no matter how light and easy it may seem, not only keeps me sane but keeps me feeling good and loose. Just active recovery, but I feel it goes a long way come meet day.
