I am prepping for my first trip to the XPC Arnold. I will be competing at 242lbs and looking to build on my 1960lbs total. I’ve had a very productive off-season working with Byrd and he will continue to handle my training leading into the meet. Tucker has helped me put on a significant amount of muscle and I am by far the biggest and leanest I have ever been. I am very excited to put all my work on display and represent Team PRS on the big stage.

Deadlifts were the only thing that went great last week.  Everything feel dialed in and the weights are feeling light in my hands.  Benching can kick rocks for all I care.  I re-tweaked the pec and shut it down after the first set with 385lbs.  I’ll continue to get treatment twice weekly, but I will also drop a training day and I won’t be benching below a 2 board.  As long I have weight in my hands and I can be pain free, I will be ok.  I played around with my grip width and if I go with a max width grip I have no pain until a 1 board height.  So, we will play it safe and I will roll into the Arnold with a question mark on the bench.  As long as I can bench within 10lbs of my PR, my total goal is within reach.
