I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 APF Illinois State Meet, in Sycamore, Illinois. I will be competing at 148 pounds, raw (without wraps). At this meet I will just be taking token lifts to qualify for APF Equipped Nationals which is in Orlando, Florida where I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps. As such, the bigger picture is to prep for this meet, and obtain a top three placing to qualify for WPC Worlds in November.

Wednesday I made the venture over to Elitefts. Not just to train, but to take a crew of the Purdue Barbell lifters there for a training session and let me help coach them. They were on their spring break, and for those of them that didn't go home (or didn't live far away from school) we decided to set up a day to go and train, and so that I could coach them and make some technical adjustments as needed. It's not very often I get to work with a good sized group of them at one time, so this was really cool. We should be having some really cool content rolling out from the day, which I think can be very beneficial for those that coach or help multiple lifters.
It was a super long day with the travel, training, lots of food, and good times. I was exhausted when it was all said and done. But I got in a ton of volume of leg work while coaching (basically my rest periods were coaching). Definitely a cool day, and I can't thank Dave and the Elitefts staff enough for having us.
