After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

Thursday I got in a solid leg training session in with Adrian. Nothing overly complicated, but the rest pause work on the leg press was a kick in nuts. Some good quad work and leg pump and I was out. Still trying to build some good momentum.
