I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 APF Equipped Nationals, in Orlando, Florida on May 28th, 2016. I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps. The big picture is to prep for this meet, and obtain a top three placing to qualify for WPC Worlds in November.

Tuesday's training session was a bit of a back off day of training. Volume was still a bit high, but that's because the intensity was so much lower. Things are still slowly winding down, and while I'm certainly ready to get to the platform, I still feel pretty good. Not beat up, but drained is how I would describe it. This was my final day of the pause squats, and I believe I made some great progress over the course of the 9 week period. Things are getting dialed in, and we've got one more heavy squat and pull left over the weekend, and then it's time to rest up!
