Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I've began to have some medial knee pain in my right knee. I'm still training hard, but I'm focusing on keeping my low back healthy and addressing my knee issues as well. The goal for 2017 is to end the year completely healthy and have a solid base to build a real training cycle on.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comWednesday was when I was planned to get in some dynamic effort lower work. Things were feeling great as I warmed up, and my squats actually felt the best they had in a long time. Unfortunately by the time I was almost done with my speed pulls, I felt something "give" on my left hip/pelvis and I knew it was time to shut it down. I called my chiropractor's cell and let him know and he got me an appointment for the following day.
