28 Oct Danny Vega – Raw United Meet Prep – squat & bench openers

I am training for the Raw United meet on November 7th in Tampa, FL. I will be competing raw with wraps in the 220 weight class.

Been slacking on my logs last couple of weeks. End of meet prep = less log posts and more anger. Finished my deload last week and came back FINALLY feeling fresh this week. Lots of travel, a wedding, building a home and other stress has me a little lighter than usual but my openers still moved fast.
