After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, I'm now focusing on being a bench press specialist for the next year or so (both raw and equipped). I'm currently in meet prep for the 2018 XPC Bench Bash on the main stage at the Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. I'll be competing at 132 in multi-ply on Sunday, March 4th, 2018.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comOne this Friday I only had about 45 minutes to get everything in, so I just hit some basic movements and just tried to call it a wrap. It was a good leg pump and is keeping things going, but I also knew I was going to have a big bench day the following day, so I was trying to keep that in mind as well.
