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.

On this Monday evening I got in my volume based lower body work, and this was just a moderate based workout for me. I didn't really feel like going heavy, so I just cranked out some volume to make up for it. Some of the machines I have access to aren't the best for various reasons, so I generally don't try to go too heavy unless I really feel like it. It was worth the time of going in and getting something done though.
