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 had some more pump training for the chest, shoulders, and triceps. A pretty fun day of training, and things are feeling rather good. I knew I'd be gone over the weekend, so I really started to crank up the volume on my work since I knew lots of food would be coming my way (and some rest, too).
