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.

Final week of this speed bench wave, and some decent progress was made I felt. I've now also transitioned to having my shoulder and bicep accessory work fall on this day, so after my DB work (which I'm pushing a bit harder now), it's all about getting the pump and just having fun with training.
