After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

Week 22 was an awesome week of training. Still quite a few life things going on and having to move some training around here and there to make things work, but as a whole some really good steps forward with my squat and deadlift, and my bench press is feeling off the charts right now. Some cool meet news is coming soon, too.

The biggest highlights from this training video:

  • Up to 355x5 squat (heaviest I've been in 4 months), pain free and minimal to no hip shift or bar dip
  • Up to 360x3 fat bar bench press with reveres light bands [PR]
  • Up to 285x10 fat bar close grip bench press with reverse light bands [PR]
