Today was possibly the most dialed in, pain free, surpassed my program goals training session Ive had throughout these months prepping for Nationals. So much so that I threw a 19rep/3min set with the 32kgs in at the beginning and had fun with my rack holds at the end. 8 days away from competition day I feel stronger than ever. I truly attribute it to my powerful support system. My family, friends and fellow athletes who support me in all my endeavors. Next Saturday is about honoring the aspects of my life that give me strength. I will honor my wife Amy Pellot who has blessed the last 12yrs of my life with love, laughter and a level of personal growth I can never repay. My children, my dusk and my dawn who provide with are an endless well of inspiration to me. My coach Ken Blackburn whos guidance has helped me evolve as an athlete and a teacher. My team Orion Strength Guildwhich through their determination, stubbornness and faith has made me prouder than any Super Bowl winning coach ever has. My training partners Jason Sanchez Eric Charles Hayes and Megan Densmore who week after week contributed to a potluck of skill, accountability and feedback thats helped eliminate old restraints. And my sport, which though its origins are from abroad it has found its way to my home, New York. I will walk into our coliseum on August 23 amongst family both of blood and of iron and leave my heart on the platform. Lets all go in as warriors and walk out as legends. Honor thy family, teacher, home and sport or die trying.
