While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

Well like I mentioned for Wednesday's log, my low back started giving me some problems, and by Thursday it hurt to do anything that put my low back in any kind of extension. Essentially my right side of my pelvis was in some bad anterior pelvic tilt. After seeing Caleb and getting things wrenched on and loosened up, I adjusted basically back to normal. As such, my training was still jammed into my day, but I also just did movements that I knew weren't going to hurt and probably just help me feel better. It was just a giant circuit to get the blood flowing and do something. I'm happy Caleb got me right, and he thinks I'll be good to train on Saturday. I'll just need to see how things go, but whatever it was that knocked my pelvis out is a serious concern I've got to look into. Frustrating, but happy it wasn't anything worse.
