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.

Tuesday I was finally able to get in some deadlifting work without having any kind of pain or issues in my back after I had the issues post Minnesota trip. Since I missed some deadlifting because of all that fiasco, I just decided to hit my speed work, then follow that up with some straight weight work. I've still got some progress to make in this department, but things are still moving really fast and feeling good. It's just about keeping it that way.
