Max Effort Upper: Incline Bench Press with Shoulder Saver - PR [VIDEO]

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.

Another max effort Saturday in the books with a great single PR on Incline Bench Press with the Shoulder Saver. After this, Adrian and I shot some material at the gym to try to get some marketing videos together for the gym to help with out services and talk a bit more about who we are and what we do. It's the main reason the accessory work was kept on the lower end of things. But hey, a strong day is a good day in my book.

Heavy single today at 315 on incline bench press with the shoulder saver for a grind(ER). Making some good progress lately. Thanks to Alex for being a great training partner. Driving 45 minutes every Saturday is a big sacrifice that I appreciate! Training at @team.thirst
