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 just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

Tuesday evening I went in to get some really good leg training done. I really kicked things up a notch, and adding in a lot of drop sets and cranking out the work. This left me feeling pretty destroyed and tired, but it was mentally something that I just needed for the day. Leg training like this for me right now is definitely something that I've been needing!
