Looks like we’ve got some new pieces at to further progress back development.

Always bringing good vibes

More load across the board and pain free.
Actually limited by strength/endurance again and not by aches/pains.

Will stay here, sharpen ex*****on, then add weight and repeat.

Training is about to get turned back up big time.

Enjoying the added lower body stimulus.

T bar row
Chest supported row
Lat pulldown
Lying hamstring curl
Barbell RDL

Top sets from yesterday’s lower body session.

Will absolutely be working back up to 405 squats and 495 RDLs. Legs were looking incredibly sad at the tail end of last prep with their removal due to minor strains.

While traveling I do what I can to keep training relatively consistent to my norm.

This typically means starting off a session with a machine I know and love or at least matching the angle of push/pull.

Once the important work is done, I’ll have some fun hitting with machines or grips I don’t normally have access to.

This order allows me pause progress with little to no regression once returning to my usual training split.

Although I stayed connected to fitness throughout 2024, my competitive goals took a back seat. My training wasn’t where it needed to be, many meals were missed and early in 2025 I genuinely questioned if I’d ever compete again.

With the help of some incredible individuals in my corner, I found my way back. I’ll always be grateful for the people and challenges that shaped me and set the foundation for a memorable 2025 season.

Now, we continue to carry the lessons learned into 2026 for what absolutely can and will become an even better year both on and off the stage.

Don’t underestimate what can accomplish in a year.

Stay tuned for the incoming growth.
Time to eat.

Hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas this year 🎄
