I'm taking the next 12+ weeks off from strongman events and training primarily for hypertrophy with a slight strength emphasis. I'm in my "off-season" and looking to put on some size over the upcoming months and into next year. I'm working with teammate Mike Mastell on my programming.
I'm now 3 weeks into my actual programming, plus the 1 week of introducing the body part split and volume back in. I've already had a few people comment that I'm looking bigger. I can also see a differences. So this is definitely some good feedback. I've got at least 9 more weeks of this and my calories just bumped up more - so I'm excited to see the changes in my body in the upcoming weeks.
