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.

With missing two days of training on Tuesday and Wednesday, I opted to use Friday as a make up day for some of that training. I still kept to training upper body as the priority, but just decided to knock out a little bit of back, chest, and shoulders. It wasn't really anything I had planned for the day, but I didn't want to do any dynamic effort pressing yet. I figured I missed so much quality training, that I would double down on trying to train anything that I could. I'll start week 8 off as if I'm only working on improving my bench press, and just train my lower body as I'm able to do so. Right now that's all I can do, and I felt the combo day I put together was just a good way to cap the week off while I lay out some new training for moving forward.
