Main Squat - Back in Wraps - 3/27/2018 - With Video
Since my meet in December, I've been spending time building up my squat without wraps. It's been a fun challenge getting back to training in sleeves since it had been about a year since I've had the chance to. I decided to test out the new Metal Orange wraps, and I liked the feel of […]
Main Deadlift - 3/2/2018 - Rack Pulls

Main Bench
Dropped the weight down since last week I missed reps on two of my sets. I was happy to hit 10 on all four sets today (8-10 rep range). The weight felt good, after a good MFR treatment and focusing on lighter on those rows saturday my shoulder is feeling really good. I'm feeling confident […]

Main Squat - 5 Weeks Out - with video
These squats felt silly easy. I'm still trying to work on my head position on the way down to keep a stacked spine, but these felt good. I'm hoping Steve ups the weight next week (wink, nudge). The wraps were pretty moderate this session so I'm excited to see what happens when we crank them […]

A Few of My Favorite Memories from the S4 Compound
It's been sad watching the updates over the last few weeks of the S4 Compound being cleared out. Bigger and better things are coming for this company, I know that and see that, but it's still sad to know I wont be able to revisit the place where I made some of amazing memories. It was in […]
