[Eric Downey]

Starting Sat. I'll start putting in my training for the Europa Super Show in Dallas, Tx Aug. 15th and 16th. This will give people a look in to Jesse's sick and twisted mind set, and approach to training for a big meet.

[Eric Downey]

Well today is our last day of reps for our training to Europa. Its looking like a bench only meet for most of us since with only a few doing the full meet. Ill post the workout later. Drinking my orange flavor Results while getting stuff together.
