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 had some great back training with the lady friend. Lots of volume after a nice heavy bench day in the shirt is always needed. I kind of let Adrian sequence things up today and I really enjoyed the overall training session.
