I'm currently in the early stages of preparing for 2016 USS Strongman Nationals which will be held on June 11th, 2016. My training focus is to continue to get stronger overall, continue adding some size and start working in strongman events again. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.

My shoulder is still bugging me unfortunately, so any pressing is out at the moment. Today was just some back and arm hypertrophy work. Everything felt solid. I love those suitcase rows. I've been keeping my rest really short on these hypertrophy type days. Typically 1:00 to 1:15.
