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


Thursday rounded out week 5 of the off season work, and it was a solid day's training. Still lots of volume, but improvements are being noticed which is always good. A bunch of different back variations and some fun was had. Just gotta keep plugging away.
