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.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comMonday after some good benching, I got in some solid back and bicep training to keep things moving along steady. Nothing really all that exciting from this session, just more work being put in. Here shortly I'm going to start pulling back on the volume of work so that I can begin resting up. A few more weeks to go though.
