After an abysmal showing at APF Equipped Nationals, I'm now in an off season mode of training. Currently, I am in a hypertrophy block focusing on quality of movement and time under tension. This will build the foundation for my strength phases to prepare for WPC World's in November.

Due to some of the weekend stuff my training schedule this week is needed to be accelerated a bit. I wanted to ensure that I had a day off before I got back into powerlifting mode, so that means having Thursday off and training Friday instead of Saturday. As such, arms fell on Monday this week, and done at the rec center. Given that it's my final true arm day, I decided to really crank the volume and make it a fun one. This blew my arms up and made washing my hair (or lack thereof) not enjoyable that evening.
