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 finished up week 1 of my new strength phase. I'm pretty happy with how things are going so far. I don't feel that I've lost much strength at all. My log press is a bit off, but it's mainly technique. After a couple of weeks things should really start feeling good. I'm excited to see how things progress over the upcoming weeks.
