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 in some back and bicep volume post bench shirt work. I was actually feeling really good coming into this session for some odd reason, even after having what seemed like a really long weekend and with work obligations stacking up like crazy at the moment. Some good drop sets and bicep pump to make it a solid training day.
