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.

Well with Tuesday's training being shifted around, that left me hitting my dynamic work on Wednesday. Speed squats felt great, and I finally got up to a semi-respectable post injury deadlift. While 375 isn't anything remarkable by any means, it was pain free and moved good, but also the heaviest I got while using hook grip so that's also an excellent sign moving forward.I just hit some minor light accessories after that and called it a day. Hopefully I'll be giving 400 a go here again soon.
