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. My programming is based off of John Meadows Mountain Dog Training with a slight strength emphasis.

Notes:

-My shoulder felt really good this session.

-My pressing felt really strong. Even keeping things strict, the tempos slower and focusing on the muscles working things felt strong.

-Rest was kept to right at 1 minute

-This killed my triceps. They were sore for a couple days and that doesn't usually happen.
