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.
The machine bench press with band assistance made my chest pump like crazy. Still felt decently strong on the swiss bar incline and axle floor press. This was a pretty good training session overall.
