I'm currently training for USS "Hope for the Holidays" strongman push/pull competition in December. I'm working with Mike Mastell and training focus is strength with some hypertrophy emphasis.

Notes:

-The log felt really good. My technique feels much better coming back to the log this year than it did last year when I transitioned back to it. '

-Everything else I just train like a bodybuilder. I do use a full ROM on each movement and really focus on feeling the muscles work.
