After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm not focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

Thursday afternoon I got in a good back training session with Adrian. We both had about 60 minutes or so to get in a good training session, so we just really cranked the intensity hard and go after it together. I was actually surprised at how sore I was able to get from just something that look so simple on paper. Some good variations and it's always fun to get in a good training day with her.
