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.

Well I've finally pulled the trigger on adding in some squats and deadlifts back into the mix. I'm starting completely at square one, and the second something feels off, I'm going to regress until it feels good again, and then push forward. So this might take a really long time, but if that's what it's going to take, then so be it. I'll be training my lower body twice a week again in hopes that I can develop everything I need to keep things moving along. I'm happy to say that everything felt really good and there were no issues, but it's just going to have to be one of those processes that goes week by week and see what kind of progress we can make.
