Learning Music Again to Relax and Encourage Creativity
When I was around 11 I picked up the drums for a little while, took some lessons, played very poorly with friends. Later on when I was 18 I decided to buy a cheap Ukulele and teach myself how to play using only youtube videos. It was fun, but I never learned more than a […]
Main Bench - 8 Weeks Out - CPF Tournament of Champions
Pain through my right neck/shoulder is getting better, I still feel a bit off but not like I'll tear anything off kinda pain. I was happy to see my reps look more consistent and was able to keep my hips on the bench. Steve had me widen my feet and that's made a big difference. […]
Recovery Day
Today was a great recovery day. I've been crazy busy the past few weeks with work, travel, training, picking up music, and trying to have a bit of a social life. My right shoulder has been acting up since I was in Alberta (I'm saying shoulder, but its more of a rib/neck issue). Thankfully it's […]
Feeling Inspired Again
Something Hannah Johnson told me once that I remind myself of often is "Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire". Wise words from a wise woman. To say that the last year has been filled with ups and downs would be an understatement, but the hardships aren't what I want […]

Main Deadlift - 5 Weeks Out
Do you want to know how the session was supposed to go, or how it actually went? Actually went eh? So I was supposed to work up to a PR deadlift of 375 for a double. While my last warm up with 354 moved well with just a little shake on the way up, I […]

Main Bench - 5 Weeks Out
First day back to training after CPU Nationals. Time to prep for IPF Bench Worlds.
Quick update from CPU Nationals
I have yet to take a break from volunteering, handling, and socializing at Nationals. It's a week long event and runs long hours, and I like to help out as much as I can so there hasn't been much time to sit or write. Although it was my best performance to date, I was beat […]
