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.

A good way to end the dynamic effort upper wave. Some good benching, great accessory work, and just continuing to attack weak points. The isometric holds against bands were absolutely brutal, and I'm going to have to certainly continue to keep little things like this around to drill tightness while I'm in the shirt.
