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.
The log is finally feeling good again. It's still not great, but it's getting there. My technique is slowly, but surely, coming back. My breathing is still not perfect, but just training the log will improve that. This session felt good and I felt strong. I'm excited to see how things continue to come together over the next 6 weeks.
