I'm currently in the early stages of preparing for 2016 USS Strongman Nationals which will be held on June 11th, 2016. My training focus is to continue to get stronger overall, continue adding some size and start working in strongman events again. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

I felt like absolute crap today. I've had a cold since Saturday. My sleep hasn't been good. I had a headache all day. Anyone who lifts knows when you feel like this the last thing you want to do is train. Especially when you know you've got something you need to hit for a certain amount of reps. I came up short on my goal today, but I'm still happy with it. I've got plenty of time to improve and 9 reps was a nice little PR anyways.
