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.

Second week of dynamic effort upper work was much better than the week prior. Even with more load on the speed work, it seemed to move faster and feel better. Funny how that kind of works out when your training is actually consistent and designed to help improve each other. Hope to keep this ball a rolling, that's for sure!
