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 evening wrapped up another week of training. I got the great pleasure of training with Trey during the week again since he's back from break, which was a nice good change of pace for me. It'll be good to have him around on the holidays as well, as the atmosphere can sometimes get boring during the week training solo. I enjoy my solo time, but I get that in the rec with the headphones on, so no worries there. The back got adjusted again, and I seem to be doing MUCH better. Still some kinks to work out, but going to give squatting a while on Saturday and see what happens. I know I'm going to keep things lighter and stick with some 10's and just play it by ear. No reason to rush in to things.
