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 rather solid back training session to kick off this training wave. I've been slowly adding in some various attachments from here on the site to the gym, as our members seem to love the variety we're offering on our equipment. Just one of those days where I get the work in and get out.
