I competed June 19, 2016 and had a sub-par performance. I left a lot of weight on the platform and I was left quite disappointed. I know I can be better and I will. I have reached out to Byrd to help with my training and Danny to dial in my diet. I plan on competing again on October 2, 2016 without a cut to dial some things in before I dial it back in prep for the Arnold 2017.

The second half of this week’s training went according to plan.  Stayed true to my RPE on the squat and really focused on my execution on the speed bench.  If you’ve read my log before, you know I love to train A LOT.  Training 4 days per week has been an adjustment, but it has allowed me to devote time to other things that will help me improve as a lifter.  I am still in the gym on my off days working on my body.  I do pre-hab on my hips, knees and shoulders and at least 2x per week some very low intensity conditioning like walking with a light sled, farmers, airdyne, or any combination of things to keep my heart rate up and blood flowing.  I feel as though I let my GPP fall too low during my last prep and it severely impacted my recovery.  I wont let that happen again.

*I want to make a note here and say that when I say conditioning, I use the term very loosely.  My main goal is to get bigger, stronger and increase my total.  These “conditioning” sessions do not tax me from a muscular standpoint and my heart rate is never elevated to a point where I could not carry on a conversation.  The goal is blood flow and doing things to help me recover faster from training.
