I am currently in Phase #1 of my program for the 2015 United States Strongman National Championships. This phase is focused on increasing my speed on the yoke, increasing my overall lower body strength and increasing my bodyweight. I'll also be working on my event technique. I'm also raising an amazing infant boy, while still working, training and living life. My next competition will be the USS National Championship in late June where I'll be competing in the 220# class.
Things seem to be heading in the right direction. This was a solid upper body day and I'm feeling pretty strong. My wrist didn't bother me too much here except when I tried chin ups. I had to do pull ups instead. Hammer curls don't feel great, but they are much better than anything requiring supination of the wrist. If I tape it up tight and wear a wrist wrap the hammer curls feel decent.
