10 Weeks Out from USAPL Cbus Lifting Co. Spring Classic

I've been working on finding a good bench setup with my feet flat that doesn't bother my hip, and I think I'm slowly getting there. I also reached out to Vincent Dizenzo to take a look at my bench technique, and he suggested getting bigger air and meeting the bar better as I lower it. Overall he said things looked solid, so I was happy about that; and looking forward to working on the changes he suggested.

Competitively - My last competition was the  UPA Winter Rack Attack on December 17th (competed raw at 220lbs). It was my second meet back transitioning to competing raw, and my goal entering next year is to qualify for a larger raw competition (whether it be at the Arnold or elsewhere).
