This April, I competed at CPU Nationals, placing second in the 63kg open category with an 825 lb total, just one pound behind first place. With the guidance of Steve Goggins, I am in pursuit of greatness, both on and off the platform.

Tuesday Squat

Best squat session in a long time! I find that I need extra time to train on my squat days as it sometimes takes me a little longer to really get my body primed. I worked up to doubles with 290, which is the heaviest I have done for doubles since training with Goggins, and the heaviest I have ever done without wraps. My personal best squat in an IPF competition has been 292, so I am looking forward to beating that!
