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 was really happy with this session. I felt good and strong. My legs seem to be growing with all this volume and I think my strength may actually be up. It's hard to say since I'm doing a lot of lift variations instead of the main lifts. I'd say this is probably a PR on the SSB Squats though.

I was also supposed to do backwards Prolwer pushes this day, but it happened to start storming during my training session.
