Like usual, I made an abrupt and last minute decision concerning my competition plans. I will be competing in Northern Nevada's Strongest Man on August 13, 2016 in order to qualify for Master's Nationals in Vegas at the Olympia on September 16. In short, I changed my direction because of my love for grip and as a long time advocate to see the return to more grip inclusion in strongman. Northern Nevada's Strongest has max distance farmers and Master's Nats has an awesome farmer's type medley and frame hold for time. The events were calling me. In short, I am in love.

Had to unexpectedly jet and returned the following day to get the work in. My training takes forever and I like it. Problem is, it's too long and the actual work time needs to be decreased. Between sets I like to use my time in the gym to sing, clean up the chalk messed left behind on the floor or just enjoy quiet. I am under orders to rearrange how I am structuring the time and am training approx. 90 min or less THEN do the other things.
