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.

I'm continuing to add weight each week to this, which is a good sign. Things are progressively getting a bit more challenging, but think I've still got another 15-20 pounds before I really have to start working hard for these. A good training session though!
