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.

Friday afternoon I got in some shoulder and arm training with Adrian, as well as a few visitors from ISU that swung by to get in a training session. It was a good day to catch up and just have some training and chat about stuff going on. I'd like to say the training was more eventful, but it was just pretty much a straight up regular day.
