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.comMonday night was a super quick little session. Nothing was too exciting except for the fact that I hit a PR on my grip work...by a long shot. I'm still trying to figure out how certain exercises have carryover to my actual grip strength towards a barbell in my hands, but I'm thinking that such a large jump lately has to be a good sign. I guess I'll know more when I go back to my double overhand pin pulls in a few weeks, but man it felt good to really move some weight for that. My hands were just smoked after that main exercise, so I just called it a day. I figured any other work that point would just be a waste.
