I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival on March 5th, in Columbus, Ohio. I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps.

Monday called for my extra little session, this time with the lovely Hannah. It's been nice having her back for the holidays, but I know she'll be going back rather soon. I just knocked out a lot of blood flow work and kept things moving along pretty quickly. Grip seems to be improving slightly, so that's also a great thing to notice. I really hate the rolling thunder, and with my tiny ass hands, any progress (even a 2.5 lb PR) is huge for me. I'm hoping the decreasing heavy deadlifting frequency also let's my hands be able to handle more training and recovery wise since I won't have the heavy weights in my hands week in and week out. I guess we'll see next week.
