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.

New week of some lower body training, and actually getting to some weights that are forcing me to be a bit more locked in and feeling things kick in a bit more. Kept the accessory work down a bit as I begin to feel what these weights feel like in terms of recovery and overall workload. So far, it's not been too bad.
