After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now focused on training to improve my body and mind as I prepare for my wedding in June. I hope to be back on the platform towards the end of 2018.

This Tuesday was a solid back and bicep training session. I was feeling a bit better overall and opted to push a tad bit more than I normally do. I guess that will happen when my previous leg day kind of sucked, and I had two days off. I guess I'll take it.
