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.

Thursday's leg training was super productive and quick. I managed to get about half of this done with Adrian, and she always manages to make training a bit more fun, plus she really helped push my tempo, increasing the overall density of the training session. There really wasn't anything fancy or special about the particular session, but just one of those days I'm glad I managed to knock out.
