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 session was one of those that just sucked. My left knee started bothering me as I was warming up with the bar on front squats. Everything felt heavy and off. And then to top things off I strained my pec on my top set of pin presses. I still got the work in and that's the most important thing.
