Notes From Matt<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Dallas hit a new low today, food has continued to slowly go up on a daily basis and everything is continuing to improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we trained arms at Project Flex, we are very thankful to have the opportunity to train in that facility. Its been a great place to train with an atmosphere of people who understand what its like to compete on this level and are very encouraging and supportive of what we are doing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
