After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now taking some time to focus on competing in bodybuilding over the spring of 2017. My nutrition coaching is through Cliff Wilson, and I have not yet determined the shows I'm competing in at this time.

Friday's training session rounded out week 1 of the Conjugate Monster program. And so far I really like what I've devised up. It' a lot of work, but it's incredibly fun to be able to use some powerlifting, but also crank the volume on the accessory work and focus on building some solid muscle and working towards a different goal. If anything, I really just enjoy how quick I can get some of my training sessions done. Not having to deal with knee wraps, spots, loading, ample rest, etc just makes for a good change of pace. But at the same time, I'm getting ample fun and training time in with the training partners. I know my nutrition now, so I'll be posting that up here shortly.
