After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

Monday was an awesome back pump training session. Lots of heavier work, but ample volume as well. Just a pretty straight forward day with nothing else really all that exciting in terms of training and such. So far everything is feeling good!
