After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.

Well another week has come and gone, and this the back is "eh" at best. It was feeling rather good, but I'm still sitting into my right hip, and even had a minor flare up on the right side. Things have been taken care off, but I've got to just keep babying this thing, and doing all the small things. However, I did manage to bench 435 at Elitefts, so at least if nothing else that is going very well.
