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.

On this particular Friday, I got in a crazy good leg pump in the afternoon. I had some time to kill before I had to be home and get some stuff done, so I just cranked out some good work. I feel like I'm making some good progress on my legs, and that my back is finally feeling better. Feels good to be making progress on all fronts.
