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.

Great way to end the training week and get a nice little PR on floor press. Same accessory work as the past two weeks, with increases in volume and total workload. Ready to move on to the next training wave, and continue to build on this.
