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.
These paused deadlifts felt very solid and strong. Overall this session was pretty brutal and took me a while to get through. A lot of work on that posterior chain. I'm feeling really good though.
