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.

I ended up taking Wednesday off from training, and hit some extra lower body work on Thursday. I still kept things light with it being a deload week, so quite a bit of super sets and just keeping the body moving and feeling good. Pretty straight forward day with a solid quad pump.
