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.

I was a bit sore and fatigued from Saturdays session so the front squats felt like death. I had a misload on log and thought it was 215 for a back off set when it was actually 285. I thought the clean felt way heavy, but when I pressed it I knew it wasn't 215. Other than that things went good.
