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.

Wednesday was a great day of upper body pump work. Let's of volume and time under tension. Some good super sets and fun intensity techniques to round out the whole day. Getting closer to squatting every day though.
