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 in meet prep for the 2018 XPC Bench Bash on the main stage at the Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. I'll be competing at 132 in multi-ply on Sunday, March 4th, 2018.

Tuesday was some leg work in the garage. Nothing too crazy, but just addressing some general hypertrophy work and keeping the legs feeling good. I should be back at hitting the rec soon as it opens back up after the holidays. Keeping things rather simple right now has just worked wonders with how busy I am. I'll be kicking things up a notch here soon.
