After having a year away from the platform and a terrible showing at the 2018 XPC Bench Bash, I'm gearing back up for a multiply bench only competition, the APF Pressing the Pieces Together on April 27th, 2019. This meet helps bring awareness and charity donations for Autism Awareness. I'm looking to compete at 132lbs and just have a good meet back, while running my new gym, THIRST, and rehabbing my low back issues.

A new dynamic effort wave in the books, and working on increasing range of motion with the cambered bar and exploding through weaker areas. Following some things up with a bit heavier DB work, and rounding the session out with higher rep recovery work for the triceps, rear delts, and bicep pump.
