I'm currently in the early stages of preparing for 2016 USS Strongman Nationals which will be held on June 11th, 2016. My training focus is to continue to get stronger overall, continue adding some size and start working in strongman events again. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.
I'm not going to lie. This sessions kicked my ass. Everything felt good and strong though. I was a bit limited on time for this session, so I had to keep a close eye on my rest periods. Once I was done with my heavier work I definitely upped my pace. I was programmed to do DB RDLs, but my lower back was pumped like no other. So I did GHRs instead.
