Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I've began to have some medial knee pain in my right knee. I'm still training hard, but I'm focusing on keeping my low back healthy and addressing my knee issues as well. The goal for 2017 is to end the year completely healthy and have a solid base to build a real training cycle on.

Friday I kicked off my day with some shoulder and arm work. After taking Thursday off for some extra rest, I wanted to get a good gym bro pump. I used some fun and different intensity techniques to really make the session move quick, but get an awesome pump to end the day. Looking forward to getting back under the bar on Saturday!
