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 day was a super quick one. Just some speed work on the squat and deadlift, a little bit of accessory work and I was out. I'm continuing to feel pretty good and am glad that things are winding down. Speed looks to be excellent and things feels dialed in, so I'm very pleased. I've also got a whole recap of my squat and deadlift training in the YouTube video below.
