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.

Merely just building off of last week with the speed work. Hit a nice rep PR with the Swiss Bar using the close grip handles. I absolutely hate this bar, but it does a great job of keeping my shoulders healthy and hammering my triceps, so I'll just keep chipping away.
