13 Weeks Out - Front Squats & 18 inch Deadlifts (VIDEO)

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.

Things went really good today. The front squats moved fast and felt strong. The 18 inch pulls felt the same way. I'm feeling good with where my strength is right now. Looking forward to bringing it all together for the big day in June.
