19 Nov Brian Carroll – Catching up and Wednesday + Thursday training
We have some BRAND NEW swag loaded on the site just in time for fall & winter. 3 new Hoodies and a black on black tee.

I’m back to training, getting caught up and cranking away. Lots going on right now, but I’m finding a way to get as much done as possible. I’m very happy with a couple of things in the works. This training session was a good one and I always feel good when I get some leg work in 2x per week.
I’m back to training in precontest – mode 4 weeks out, working on some awesome projects and limiting my yes’s and expanding my no’s.
Why training in precontest, still? Why pushing 4 meets this year? Don’t you suggest only doing 2-3 a year? Great question! I do suggest only doing 2-3 meets per year but I’m also not going to drag out my lifting time forever. I have a few more MP PL goals I want to get, then it’s time to back off for a while and chase some other lifting related goals. And honestly, I don’t feel like taking a break right now – nothing hurts, nothing is injured. In most cases, a break after a long year would be good. For me, a break wouldn’t be good. I can take a break next year and catch up on rest.
