After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now 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.

On this Tuesday I was feeling really good, so I went in during the evening and cranked out a crazy leg workout. Lots of volume, drop sets, and challenging work. Just continuing to try and keep the legs a growing and staying strong.
