Week 5, Day 3 - BOB3 Prep
Bodyweight's dropping for no apparent reason, but benching is still feeling strong.
Week 5, Day 2 - BOB3 Prep
Heavy squats, with a greater appreciation for fully attached quad tendons.
Week 5, Day 1 - BOB3 Prep
Back in the saddle with a more consistent training week after 2 less than ideal week.
Week 4 - BOB3 Prep
Nose bleeds from hell, *almost* quad tears, and learning a valuable lesson on when to back off. What a week.
Week 3 - BOB3 Prep
A pretty good strain and a tight schedule made for a challenging week, but overall a solid group of training. Eyes on the prize.
Week 2 - BOB3 Prep
Death by squat volume, and always learning something new on the bench press. Loving the physical and mental growth that occurs during meet preps.
Week 1 - BOB3 Prep
Prep for this meet is going to be structured pretty similarly to the last two preps I've done, as I've had great success with it. I squat and deadlift heavy every other week, or twice per month. In Week 1, I'll squat heavy and do speed pulls, and in week 2, I'll deadlift heavy and […]

Week 1 Day 5 - Bro Fest Friday's
Coach Mike added in a 5th day to my offseason program to hit some extra upper body volume. If I'm going to be going to the 242's, I definitely need to put some mass on. These workouts are generally pretty light and all about chasing the pump and feeling huge at the end of it. […]

My XPC Finals Experience - the Good, The Bad, and the Life Changing Oppo...
Powerlifting isn't about just stepping onto the platform to lift weights with your body. Having a solid mental approach to competing is critical, and learning to compartmentalize mistakes is the key between having a good day and a bad day. And the XPC Finals tested my mental game to the limits, with a fantastic surprise to end the day.
