Tonight was a bittersweet night in the 'ole gym. Because I've been having such a difficult time with my back, Justin thought the wise decision would be to shift focus. So we're changing from a powerlifting/strongman route to a body building route. 
So..switching techniques,  dialing in my diet...just another challenge.
