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 just trying to increase muscle mass and keep my low back healthy and give it time to rest and recover.

Saturday afternoon I was able to get in some training with the crew of guys and Adrian, and it was a really good training day. I was finally able to work some stuff I wanted, and I'm happy with how I'm feeling. Really just trying to crank the single leg work without any assistance (holding on to anything), and also working on good movement and positioning. A solid day of training to flush some blood around and get a good little leg pump in.
