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.

I decided after my last leg training that I would need some time off, and opted to go with about 10 days off from training my legs. I was starting to feel tired, beat down, and losing motivation to train my legs. That time off was definitely what I needed, as the gym is kicking up a lot in terms of business! Tried to keep things on the lighter side this week, and then we'll slowly start to ramp things up.
