I’m alive in case you were wondering. I’ve been getting my ass kicked with my last semester of grad school — papers, projects, exams…you know, the good stuff. My first training cycle this offseason was definitely a success. I’ve made huge PRs AND have put on some size (a secondary goal, but a goal nonetheless). Stay tuned during my next few weeks of training. Big announcement soon.
