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.

Thursday afternoon I knocked out my fluff/bro training. Another quick session keeping rest to a minimum and chasing the pump. My arms and shoulders felt like they were going to explode, so mission accomplished. Some of these supersets were definitely on the brutal side!
