There will be no training today because we will be heading out to Gatlinburg TN for the IPA World Championships. We will have eight lifters from Team Nebobarbell competing.
This has been one of the best training cycles that I have ever seen my team go through. Their confidence and I hate to use the word swag, but we will use it here, is at an all time high.
I did things a little different this training cycle, pushed them a little harder this training cycle and gave them a little more recovery time to boot. I fully feel after what I have seen in the past few months that each of them will eclipse my expectations that I expect from each of them as a coach.
We are leaving out a little earlier because Melissa is cutting weight and two more of my lifters are cutting a significant amount of weight as well in preparation for this meet. We have no delusions as to what our objective is. We plan to win everything we possibly can and walk out of this meet with enough gold medals around our necks to make Michael Phelps proud.
