Monday Q&A
Got a question?
Leaning out for the meet. Trying to make the weight drop not 21 lbs and more like 15-16 this time around.
550 lb squat 5-19-2012. This will be my 2nd attempt at APC Nationals coming up. Good speed out of the hole though gotta make sure I sink it. It’s right at parallel (side judge here called that) but since it’ll be a world record attempt I need to probably sink it another inch or so since they’ll be strict on judging.
600 lb rev band squat (-30 in the hole, 0 at the top). Good speed out of the hole and didn’t feel too heavy on my back. This may be my third attempt (obviously without the bands) at APC Nationals in 10 days.

Solid day of racing here at USRowing Southeastern Youth Regionals in Sarasota Florida.
My team did quite well with all of our varsity boats (kids I directly work with, we don’t strength train until they’re on Varsity) all will proceed to the finals tomorrow. I’m proud of all the hard work and dedication to excellence of my rowers and hope to see continued success tomorrow with multiple boats qualifying for Youth Nationals.
From a personal side point it’s been an exhausting day. While the kids get to stay out of the sun and rest all day the coaches are running around like madmen fixing various things on boats, dealing with food being prepared, launching and catching boats going on and off the water. With all this going on I’ve barely had enough time to eat much and my weight is down to 190 lbs (lowest I’ve been without artificially dropping weight in a year or so). I’ll be going to Chiles to replenish and attempt to forego beer (unlikely).
No training this weekend (heavy leg press and shrugs yesterday since I’ll be missing squat training) but it’s not exactly a rest weekend so hopefully I’ll come back out on the other side of this ready to pick back up on my own training towards APC Nationals in June as I seek my first American title as well as to qualify for Worlds in Argentina later this year.
Congrats again to all the rowers today all over - know there’s lots of championship racing going on in various parts of the country.
