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.

Rounded out this dynamic effort day with a another good PR on incline work and hitting some good feeling speed bench work as well. I had to get this session in late at night (8:30pm), but it was a good one with my man Erik. Starting a new wave next week, so we'll try to keep building off this the best we can!
