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 wasn't quite like I wanted it to be, but given my sleep was off from getting up early and deer hunting over the weekend and the time change it was ok. I was dragging and didn't feel like training. Once my pre-workout kicked in I felt better, but still not great. I did have some nice focus though and just channeled that into putting in the work. I ended up having a decent day. I was still a little sore, tight and beat up from Saturday. I need to hit an Epsom salt bath or two this week. And I see a massage in my near future. I just need to find a new massage therapist here in Paducah since my last one moved.
