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.

Friday I got in some good upper body work. I got this session in early in the morning as I was leaving town for a wedding up in Minnesota with the girlfriend, and to celebrate my good friends Justin and Amanda get married.
