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.

Friday I just had to get in a quick little something to keep things moving right along. So that evening I just jumped out to the garage to knock out some quick arm work and get out. I'm going to be taking a few days off for some rest, and then kick things off to start prep for the XPC Bench Bash. Hoping for some good things to follow!
