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 rather good dynamic effort day on Monday. I'm moving this day to focus on specific weak areas I really need to drill rather than just hitting certain body parts like I was doing in the off season or my major lay off from the past year. We'll see how things go with this route, but I was able to hammer a couple exercises really well, and felt really good when I was done. Really happy with this training session for a speed day.
