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.

I was supposed to work up to 10 pounds under what I thought I would  be good for at Hope. This was tough to decide, but I was a bit conservative and went with 335. It went up way easier than expected, so I'm hoping to hit 350+. Everything felt good this day and my press feels great.
