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.

As I've mentioned in one of my recent posts, my training log is massively behind, so hopefully I slowly catch up here over the month. I can't ever really recall what all happened on this particular day. I know that I had to cram some work in and that my overall training suffered because of it, but I still managed to get something in and get some rehab based work done on top of everything. Basically just as much work as I could squeeze in and I got out.
