Taking a 10 day hiatus from the gym was just what I needed. Time to decompress, drink some ice cold beers on these hot summer days while eating god knows what. Whenever coming back from a meet, volume is the name of the game. I won't be putting a barbell in my hand for any main movements for at least 4 weeks so I'm going to have to get creative.

B. Lying Machine Press
