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.

Wednesday knocked out some good extra fluff work. I'll be honest, I don't remember much from this training day and what was all going on. I didn't have anything positive or negative down in my log, so I guess that's a good sign. Just putting in the work.
