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.

Tuesday I got in my dynamic effort lower work, and with some rather good speed. This wraps up my speed squat wave with the bands, but I'll continue to alternate my pulls to try and slowly get a little bit heavier as my body allows. Some really quick accessory work and I cut out.
