Week of the Bar Exam, my coach and I took it as an impromptu deload. Luckily it shouldn't interfere with my peaking cycle for the Newport Open. When life happens, you just have to roll with the punches.

 

Training this week for me was mostly about moving, greasing the grooves, keeping my body feeling good, and finding a way to train while in the home stretch for the bar exam.
