Week #8, Day #1 – Officially 11 weeks out!

So, it’s official…

I’M DOING MY FIRST EVER AMERICAN MEET IN JUNE!!

Whoop!

It’ll be the APF Senior Nationals from the 6th-8th. I’m so pumped. It’ll have been a full year since I have been on the platform for anything but taking photos, so I’m really pumped to compete again.

Mock meet coming up in 2 weeks, and then just prep work from there. Schwab has me progressing every week, so I have no doubt I will put up some better numbers this time around!

Was a bit rushed during today’s training, but had a good session nonetheless. It was supposed to be MUCH lower volume than this…but sometimes I don’t know when to quit on leg days. Saved my ab work for tomorrow’s session.
