After having a year away from the platform and a terrible showing at the 2018 XPC Bench Bash, I'm gearing back up for a multiply bench only competition, the APF Pressing the Pieces Together on April 27th, 2019. This meet helps bring awareness and charity donations for Autism Awareness. I'm looking to compete at 132lbs and just have a good meet back, while running my new gym, THIRST, and rehabbing my low back issues.

Hitting up the second week of this dynamic effort wave, and things are feeling good and light after a crazy day on Saturday. Working some hard iso holds with the chaos bench press and higher rep accessory work to flush some blood around and get things feeling better. Good training day with my man Lucas though!
