13 Weeks Out - Events - Conan's Wheel, Keg Toss & Stones

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.

Today was a good training day overall. I didn't feel great going in, but ended up having a good session. I'm actually enjoying the Conan's wheel. This is the first time I've ever had it in a competition, so it's the first time I've ever really trained on the implement. The keg toss was just to focus on explosiveness and triple extension. Believe it or not, those were really taxing and my posterior chain was fried when I got to stones. I'm really happy with were things are sitting at 13 weeks out though.
