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 used this day to continue to get some good leg training in and chase a pump. Not a bad session that was quickly in and out. I couldn't believe how sore I managed to get from this when it didn't look like much on paper.
