After having a year away from the platform and a terrible showing at the 2018 XPC Bench Bash, I'm gearing back up for a multiply bench only competition, the APF Pressing the Pieces Together on April 27th, 2019. This meet helps bring awareness and charity donations for Autism Awareness. I'm looking to compete at 132lbs and just have a good meet back, while running my new gym, THIRST, and rehabbing my low back issues.

With the 10x10 now maxed out, I'm working on decreasing my total volume as I get closer to the meet. If I wasn't competing, I'd keep pushing this 8x8; but as of right now this will likely be my last day to ensure that I can have a proper peak and some good training in my shirt in the coming weeks. I'm definitely coming back to this once my body gets some rest after the meet.
