I’m currently in meet prep for the 2015 XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival during the weekend of March 6-8th. I will be competing on Friday, March 6th, 2015 at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps.

Thursday was some speed bench and more board work. I've dropped my boards a bit and am back to speed work with the straight bar. I'm really drilling this leading up to the meet and building up my triceps and slowly ramping this up. When the meet starts to roll around this will let me get some realization of where I am and let my body be used to handling these weights consistently. It really wasn't too terribly hard of a day, just sticking to the plan of attack. I'm happy with where things are, and I can't ask for much more at this point.
