After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now I can do what's best for my body. I've recently opened up a new training facility, THIRST, so I'm trying to balance life and training the best I can, with hopes that I can compete in some capacity by the end of 2018.

Back at hitting some dynamic effort work and slowly working the weight on the barbell up. I'm going to stick with the same accommodating resistance for three weeks while the weight goes up, and then after three weeks increase the band tension that I'm using. This should allow me to keep the actual bar weight in range so that I'm staying under the weight caps that I'm giving myself. All the PRI stuff is going well and working, and it's nice to just feel good and healthy while training. Spending about 10-15 minutes a day on this stuff isn't the most fun, but it's working.
