I'm currently training for USS "Hope for the Holidays" strongman competition that'll be in St. Louis on December 19th. I'll be competing in the max log clean & press and max deadlift events. I'm also still focusing on adding some size, but strength is my main emphasis. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming. After competing in December my next competition plans will more than likely be USS Nationals or NAS Plat+ next summer.
This is my final heavy training day before "Hope" next Saturday. I'm really happy with how the past few months of training has gone. Things have really came together and I'm set up to hit some nice PRs next weekend. This week I'll be decided my openers and attempts. Regardless, I plan to set 1 National record for sure.
