Coming off of a 2nd Place Finish at USS Nationals in June, I'm now in an off-season hypertrophy phase for the next 12 weeks. I'm working with Mike Mastell on my programming and it's based off of John Meadows Mountain Dog Training with a slight strength emphasis.

Notes:

-This session felt really good.

-I had a huge pump and have definitely improved my body composition over the past 10 weeks.

-I'm handling heavier weights, but still really feeling the muscles work. It's taking heavier weight to get the same effect weeks ago.

-My work capacity for this type of work has definitely improved.

-I was sore in my chest and biceps from this session. Chest soreness is fairly common for me, biceps soreness is very rare.
