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 solid training day in the books, and more progress and being able to continually add weight each week. I'm not sure where I will top out quite yet. Kept things rather quick and was working on getting the gym ready to start setting up for the meet!
