I officially started my prep on Saturday, and the goal is to start getting my body used to the load and pressure that will be coming over the next ten weeks.

This session took place exactly 10 weeks out from November 11. I’m very happy with how the last 10 weeks (offseason) have went and plan on building upon this over the next few weeks.

As I begin this cycle, I see how much I’ve missed in the past. The smallest of details in their infancy can become the most giant obstacles if you procrastinate and let them fester.  For instance, getting my BW in order early, ordering my gear before the last minute and overall being better prepared and not distracted.

Even if this cycle and meet are a complete disaster, I will be better for it, so it doesn’t really matter. I’ll make the adjustments and move forward.

Bench went great, and I have the best feeling and fitting shirt I’ve had for a long, long time and have plenty of back-ups thanks to Inzer Advance Designs 

I’m truly excited for the coming weeks ahead.

I’ll be going heavier this weekend (Sat & Monday) then I’ll go into a healing week via deload, then prepare for some very difficult weeks ahead. I’m ready.
