After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

Monday morning was another super quick back workout. I only had about 40 minutes to get something in, so I made the best of my time and supersetted some of the work I had planned. It wasn't ideal, but it got the job done. If I've figured out one thing, it's that having a limited amount of time increases my training density and improves my overall training session. So I guess I can't complain about that.
