While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

With Monday being a day of travel coming back from Minnesota, and me having a lot to do on Tuesday, I ended up just getting in a quick arm training session in the garage for about 30 minutes. Really nothing overly crazy, but just trying to get some extra work in that I would have missed from Sunday and Monday with being pressed for time. Basically I just chased a pump and called it a day.
