While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

Thursday I got in a light lower body session to keep the blood flow moving and keep things stimulated. I'm trying to still keep glycogen depleted down to help prepare me for the water cut next week, so things here we not intense at all. It took me all of about 40 minutes to really push things and get out.
