I’m currently in off season mode working on bringing up certain qualities and weaknesses I noticed from the IPA Grand Prix Nationals. This training will be laying the ground for my training cycle into the 2016 XPC Finals.

Monday I opted to get in a small training session at the rec. Really I just wanted to do some biceps, and decided I would just do some more tricep work, but keep that lighter and for more reps to get more blood flow in from yesterday's work. I got a great pump and was in and out in no time. This had my elbows feeling really good and should have me ready to start slowly ramping things back up over the course of the rest of the week.
Items Used in this Training Session
