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've really enjoyed this bodybuilding work on it's separate day. I find it takes a different mindset for each type of training day. These days are less mentally draining. I just get to go in and put in the work. Get a pump and get out. On another note, we have an old school 1970s pullover machine that looks like it's straight out of "Pumping Iron". I got to go old school and use it this week it. I'm pretty sure it's the original Nautilus Pullover machine.
