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.

Considering my training on Tuesday didn't go quite as well as I had planned, I still got in my extra lower body session, but I pushed the weights I used a bit more than normal. Usually for these days, I don't focus on weight moved, but rather time under tension and quality of movement and contractions (so yes, more bodybuilder like). The idea is always to get a pump and improve blood flow to help recovery and provide a little bit of stimulus for growth. Not to destroy myself. I decided that I would just still around after work at the rec and use some of the equipment there and really get a better time under tension workout.
