Strength training - Verbier 5th August-10th August

It's been a while since my last blog, but mainly have been keeping my updates on my Mason Survival FB Page  -  Mason Survival FB page.

I returned back to Switzerland on Sunday 4th August, having been back in the UK for the last 3 months.

I have been concentrating on more strength/speed type training for the last 2 month, working on increasing my speed on lifts, assistant exercises to ultimately to get stronger.

I have been training with the Guys at Max Strength and have been doing lots of banded work, deficit/partial lifts, speed lifts, specific assistance work and its been a great 2 month training.

So, now I'm back in Verbier for the next 4 weeks and still going to be focusing on the same goal...GET STRONGER AND FASTER!
