I’m currently in meet prep for the RPS Lexen Spring Fling in Columbus, Ohio on May 9th, 2015. I will be competing in my first multi-ply meet, going bench only at 148 pounds.

Saturday was another great day with the cambered bar...this time against chains. I felt like I had a solid day, but just wasn't at my best. Weights felt somewhat heavy and it was just hard to get rolling. The training session as a whole was great though. I think I've made some solid improvement over the past 5 weeks, even though I've only been really trying to get things in line with the shirt. I'll take the progress though if it's going to come.
After next week, I will be limiting my lower training sessions weight wise to make sure that things are good for the meet. So essentially this was my last heavy squat day until after the bench meet. Lucky me.
