After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

Definitely a bit behind on training logs, so I hope to catch up with these over the next few weeks. This was a solid max effort day with a great PR off the 1 board vs chains. I was hoping to get up to about 300, but I'll take it with how busy I've been lately.
