eat 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.

This Tuesday leg training was just a rather normal one for me. There wasn't anything in particular that was crazy or hard, just good ole fashioned work and training. At this point in meet prep, I just have to worry about getting in some decent training and leaving it at that. My recovery and performance efforts are all towards my bench press right now. The slow eccentrics on the GHR's definitely did me in though.
