While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.

Week two of meet prep is in the books, as well as my first shirt session. Things seem to be clicking along great, and I'm feeling good. First time holding 500+ pounds as well, so that's a good sign of things to come I think.
The highlights from this training video:
- SSB Squat - 315x10, pain free and looking smooth
- 2 Board Press PR of 360x1
- 505 Bench in the Shirt with the Elitefts Red Shoulder Saver
- Pain Free Deadlifts looking smooth
- Close Grip Bench Press vs Doubled Mini Bands PR of 200x8
