After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now focused on training to improve my body and mind as I prepare for my wedding in June. I hope to be back on the platform towards the end of 2018.

Had just a little bit of time in the evening to get some training in, so I got in some shoulder and arm training to make up for what I missed on Friday. The swole was real. I did my best to crank this out over the course of an hour. Needless to say the shirt splitting pumps were good.
