While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

Sunday after the wedding, we ran into American Strength again and got in some upper body work. We only had an hour to cram our training in, so I just kept things super simple and worked towards getting a PR on my floor press. After all the food and good times had on Saturday, I figured I would be good for it. With it being Memorial weekend and all, we weren't planning on driving back until Monday, so it was nice that once training was over, we get some great dinner, and just spent some good time together. I very fun trip to Minnesota with some very special people I don't get to see too often.
