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.

Continued progress on the bench press is a nice thing. I had hoped to get up to a solid triple to beat last week, but I felt that doing a single was going to be a better option on just how everything had felt. Very happy with where my bench is right now given everything that I've had going on.
