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.

Just slowing chipping away at dynamic effort work the best I can. I've got to be pleased with how things are feeling and moving though. It's not exactly the most impressive stuff still, but week by week I'm happy with where I've managed to get myself thus far.
