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.

Thursday I got in some extra lower body work at home. With the recreation center gym still being closed, I had to be a little bit creative in trying to get some good quality contractions and work in. I got the work done, and left feeling pretty dang good. Legs were definitely pumped and I got the work done that I needed to.
