After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm not focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

Tuesday evening I got in a crazy leg training session. I just had a lot of energy and felt like really pushing things for once. My back is feeling better, so I'm feeling more comfortable to get after these training sessions a bit more. All the intensity techniques were used. Next week I'll back off a little bit so that I don't get burnt out too much.
