After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now focused on training to improve my body and mind as I prepare for my wedding in June. I hope to be back on the platform towards the end of 2018.

I managed to get in some light squat work with the SSB. I used the box and just really worked on time under tension by using some rest/pause work. Overall it felt rather good, but I'm just trying to get the feel for things and mix things up. I still don't want to go heavy yet and have a lot more to keep working on.
