Still at it

Decided to do the IL State meet in Nashville, IL Jan 19! Still focusing on my strongman meet as well as arm wrestling now a little more since I know when I am going to compete. Been doing A LOT of neutral grip pullups, the dead hangs with a wrist curl Travis Bagent talks about, db holds, db rows, db preacher curls holds (really carrying over I think), plate pinches, hammer curls, band work (rreally carrying over for the tendons) and JUST BOUGHT SOME STEEL ROUND STOCK TO BEND!! Not much table time, I e-mail someone really close to me and talked to Jared Cook, he always fills me in on when he is training. Looking forward to getting a meet under my belt and learning! Hopefully I get a win or 2 as well.

[Josh Handeland]

Look forward to meeting you at States Brett!

[Brett Faught]

Hey Josh, thanks man. Look forward to meeting you and others! Maybe you could give me some pointers!

One question, what do you do to strengthen your tendons?

Had an ok back workout with some arm wrestling training and an ok press day...eh ya know. The other day I was sent home from work (producton low) so I went in twice and did light, all around upper body workout. Felt great.
