I am currently in offseason mode.  My next meet will be the XPC Finals at the Arnold Classic in early March 2016 where I will compete in the 114 lb weight class with wraps.  Brian Carroll is programming my offseason work and really eager to see the end result of this offseason.

Box Squats again.  You think I would be sick of box squatting by now.  Not the case. I am seeing a huge improvement in my squat.
