Currently Training for: Lexen Xtreme Fall Classic - Oct. 31st

Current Best Lifts: 750lb Squat, 525lb Bench, 650lb Deadlift, 1925lb Total @ 220 (multi-ply)

Training Style: Conjugate, 2 Max Effort Sessions and 2 Dynamic Effort Sessions per week, along with 1-2 extra small sessions consisting of Lat, Ab, and GHR or Reverse Hyper Exercises.

This past week was hectic but overall solid training-wise. I'm the fitness director for campus recreation at Ohio University, and we've been preparing for students to come back for the Fall Semester, so between division of student affairs trainings and my own staff trainings, my normal lifting schedule had to get tweaked slightly. Squat and Deadlift training has been going pretty well, and I've been getting some good insight from Dave Tate on the weekends as well as Todd Brock who has been helping me a lot recently. I had to take the past few weeks off of bench because of a pec strain, but this week I was finally able to get back to doing some benching, and it's almost 100%
