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.

A good back training day again, but kicking up the volume and using some intensity techniques to keep things progressing. Keeping it short and sweet, but hitting it hard when I'm in. It was a busy night at the gym, which is always a good thing.
