Today was an awesome workout, 4 guys with a ton of energy training together at my place with heavy stuff. Even though I only had about 2000 calories today I had a ton of energy and just felt awesome.

Weight is down to 206 or so. I'm competing at 200 this weekend at Sport Fest Strongman. It's going to be a tough competition with a lot of competitors, and the venue had over 150,000 spectators last year. The event is also going to be aired on TV and is going to be just sick! I'm hoping to retain my undefeated status at 200 this year, and then in 3 weeks I hope to win Teen nationals at 200.
