After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now I can do what's best for my body. I've recently opened up a new training facility, THIRST, so I'm trying to balance life and training the best I can, with hopes that I can compete in some capacity by the end of 2018.

My training sessions are still a day behind on when I normally plan to train due to the hectic week I had, but this particular Saturday was a great lower body session. Lots of soul crushing variations. The great thing was that after this was over, my family and close friends threw me a surprise birthday party at my sister's house. It was a great time, and I had a ton of food. Always great after leg training.
