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.

On this Sunday I had some early morning plans with Adrian and her family, so I opted to go get some work done in the evening on some back and biceps. Just really hammering the rows, and focusing on good contractions and a pump. Been feeling rather good lately, so I pushed the weight on some things as I felt fit.
