Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I've began to have some medial knee pain in my right knee. I'm still training hard, but I'm focusing on keeping my low back healthy and addressing my knee issues as well. The goal for 2017 is to end the year completely healthy and have a solid base to build a real training cycle on.

Tuesday afternoon I got in some extra back and tricep work. I was set to meet up with my PT and get some work done on my hip, and I was excited to see the progress I had made. We actually decided to hold off on going as frequently and meet up in four weeks to assess my progress. I was already looking forward to my dynamic effort day on Wednesday, but as we know, that would turn out to not be that good.
