After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now focused on training to improve my body and mind as I prepare for my wedding in June. I hope to be back on the platform towards the end of 2018.

Back and bicep session in the evening in the garage. Overall not a bad session. Personal stress is starting to get a little crazy as we're trying to close on our house and get things for the wedding going.
