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.

While it wasn't the best back day of training, at least I got something in with the minimal time that I had. I'm trying to really put some good emphasis on contractions on these hypertrophy based movements since time is short nearly 75% of the time. It's helped me realize that I need to quick thinking so much about how much I'm doing, but just get what I can done, and do the best to make what I can get done, effective as possible. The good news is, work is starting to let up, just a little bit, so if that trend can continue, I might be able to make training a tad bit better.

Thanks! I really appreciate your logs.
I'm usually really tight on time for warm ups and such these days, so these are just one giant round of work. The weights are super light, but it's enough to get me warmed up and sweating before I get under the bar. Usually when I'm working with athletes or clients, I'll try to do some of their mobility and warm up stuff with them, which is how I get my own "extra" work in throughout various days. Thanks for the question!
