After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently in meet prep for the 2018 XPC Bench Bash on the main stage at the Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. I'll be competing at 132 in multi-ply on Sunday, March 4th, 2018.

On this Monday afternoon I got in some quick upper body workout with the Fiancee. She wanted to train and I was kind of feeling like doing something, so I just got some extra shoulder and arm work in while she did her thing. Nothing was overly taxing or heavy, but it was a good pump for some recovery based work.
