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.

Monday I got my back and bicep work in the garage after getting some work done during the day. I was able to keep some volume around on this day, and get some good work in. I can usually keep my back volume pushed a bit more than anything else as I go into a meet, and this is something I've really been trying to bring up, so I need to keep at it for the time being. Pretty quick day, and my body is feeling good.
