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.

Second week of dynamic effort work, and things were feeling great! Hitting a DB bench press PR and moving some good weight on the accessory work has things moving in the right direction. Big week in the shirt coming up!
