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 three is in the books and it was a solid first wave of prep. We'll be kicking wave two off and trying to build off this last one.

The highlights from this training video:

  • SSB Squat - 335x10, pain free and looking smooth, but still needs some improvements
  • 1 Board Press vs Doubled Mini Bands PR of 280x2
  • Deadlifts and speed work is finally looking "normal" and smooth
