After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently in meet prep for the 2018 XPC Bench Bash on the main stage at the Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. I'll be competing at 132 in multi-ply on Sunday, March 4th, 2018.

Monday's session was another quick one in the evening I just crammed out. With a new part-time job I have that has me doing a ton of labor, it's just what I have to do for the time being. I'm trying to save up as much money as I can for wedding, buying a house, and potentially looking into a new business venture, so this just means I've got to make some good money while I can before all this commences in June. It sucks, but I'm not going to let me training waiver...I just have to make some adjustments here and there.
