eat After having a year away from the platform and a terrible showing at the 2018 XPC Bench Bash, I'm gearing back up for a multiply bench only competition, the APF Pressing the Pieces Together on April 27th, 2019. This meet helps bring awareness and charity donations for Autism Awareness. I'm looking to compete at 132lbs and just have a good meet back, while running my new gym, THIRST, and rehabbing my low back issues.

This particular leg training on Friday was jammed with some time constraints that I had going on. I managed to get done what I wanted, but had to add in a tri-set and superset on some stuff and really keep my rest periods to a minimum to get things done and out by a certain time. My legs felt like they were going to explode, so that was a positive from it. I started a little after 8pm and was done in less than 60 minutes. I'll take it.
