I’m currently in off season mode working on bringing up certain qualities and weaknesses I noticed from the IPA Grand Prix Nationals. This training will be laying the ground for my training cycle into the 2016 XPC Finals.

For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com


Tuesday's training session was a long, volume filled day. However, I managed to hit some pretty big PR's on my deadlift. I'm not sure why my body is responding so well with what I've been programming, but I'm certainly not wanting to slow down as long as things keep clicking and I'm staying healthy (all of which is going well!). I guess a lot of the things I've been programming in and running have just been addressing all the right things and I'm fine tuning things to how my body is feeling a bit more. Just keep rolling with the punches and putting in the clock work.
