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.

Tuesday had more speed work on the docket and attacking some more weaknesses. I felt particularly good and am liking where things are going so far in this prep. It's had considerably more ups than downs so far and considering the short turn around between meets (very short off season work) I couldn't be more pleased. These are the days where you just got to punch the clock and get the work in. While it never seems exciting, I always use these days to really evalutate my training as a whole and how things are going. Usually when my speed days are going great, it's a sign I'm not over doing my work on the heavy days and I'm recovering from session to session and week to week. It's a slow grind, and things never just happen, and it's sessions like these that keep me consistent and hungry to come back for more. Good solid training with intent, and consistently trying to get better in some facet of my lifting.
