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.

This particular session I tried working up on squats again like I had planned with my usual weight cap, but my hips were all screwed up and my squat looked like total trash. I'm not sure what has caused it, but I still need to keep taking time off. I'm basically at the point where my squats and deadlifts are just going to have to remain at a hold until 2019 when my new health insurance will kick in from work. With what I have right now, it's not in my financial interest to go get this all looked at until the new year. With running a new gym and everything else I have going on, it's just the decision that I will need to make. I hate that I've been battling this for nearly two years now. but I'm hopeful that at the beginning of the year I'll finally have some answers and be looking to see what I need to do. For now, back to no more squatting and deadlifting again. While it tears my heart apart for the millionth time. it's just what I've got to do to be able to focus on others and continuing to look at my future as being a business owner.

*After this I just shut it down entirely. I did some reverse hypers and sled pulls, but other than that it was rather useless. I'm not in any pain at all, but anyone that has seen my video on Instagram knows exactly what I'm talking about with how terrible my squat looked.*
