Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I'm running an off season training cycle, where my goal is to build upon my healthy movement, and hopefully hit the platform raw, full power in late 2017 or mid 2018, and rack up another 10x bodyweight total.

This particular Monday I got in some back and bicep training at the rec. Nothing overly crazy, just some solid work. A really good back and lat pump, and finally some good quality bicep work to have some fun.
