After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

On this particular Friday, I had about 30 minutes or so to get in a quick little bit of leg work. It was super fast, and hardly any rest at all. Mainly just some posterior chain work, and rehab based activities to keep things moving right along. Not really much else to be had.
