While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

Monday I got in and out with some quick upper body deload and blood flow work to build off the previous day. Nothing all that sexy or fancy, just trying to stay fresh. Really feeling good about how everything.
