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.

With the shoulder still bugging me we've pulled out all pressing for the time being. It continued to get worse and all pressing was beginning to aggravate it.
