After coming off my best meet performance of my career, I am now officially a beat up powerlifter. I'm having some minor low back issues that I'm working on mending up, and then I'll begin to find a competitive option. My goals for 2017 are to compete in a bodybuilding show and also get back to the platform 100% healthy.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comMonday was a great back and bicep training day. I kept the volume a bit on the lighter end of things for me, and just tried to keep some good blood flow going. The university was on spring break this week so having access to all the machines at will (since everyone was gone) made my training sessions fly by.
