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.

I managed to hit a nice all-time PR with 275 after what felt like was going to be a sluggish day. I also hit a huge set on pin presses with an all-time PR there as well. Building some good work in after a bad week the previous week.
