After finally getting an off season training cycle in, I am now in meet prep for WPC World's where I will be competing raw with knee wraps in the 132 pound weight class in Baton Rouge, LA on November 7th, 2016. My goal is to earn my first world championship.

Thursday's dynamic day was a super great training day. I had a good amount of energy, and for once was looking forward to just kicking some ass. I wish it would have been a heavier training day so that I could have, but I'll live with it. I opted to use the Swiss Bar here as well to save my shoulders a little bit before the insane amount of straight bar work starts piling up. I got a pretty good PR on my close grip work, and cranked out some more volume for the back and got out. Ready for the weekend to lift some big weights again. Only 5 weeks left in the tank!
