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.

Tuesday's training session called for Selkow-ism. Jacked ass arms, bad ass sprints, and some vitamin D (unfortunately I'll never go shoeless). This was a super fun, and quick training session, that had my arms feeling like they were going to explode by the time I was done. And lucky me, I still had some conditioning work to do as well. I'm enjoying the quicker sessions and just being able to have a bit more free time here and there. I wish I would have taken some measurements and pictures before I started this off, so I'm going to try and see if I can get some of those on Sunday and at least give myself a gauge of where I am and try to make some improvements over the summer.
