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 bench wave is in the mix as we start dialing in some more specificity approaching meet day. This is my final real speed wave before the meet, so I've got to make the most of it, and be deliberate as much as I can. I'm starting to pull back on accessory work just a tad bit as well as we start to enter some of the harder sessions. A good training session nonetheless.
