After having a year away from the platform and a terrible showing at the 2018 XPC Bench Bash, I'm gearing back up for a multiply bench only competition, the APF Pressing the Pieces Together on April 27th, 2019. This meet helps bring awareness and charity donations for Autism Awareness. I'm looking to compete at 132lbs and just have a good meet back, while running my new gym, THIRST, and rehabbing my low back issues.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comThis Thursday training session was drastically less than ideal. I had a long day at work at my other job, and with my wife's first meet coming up this weekend, I had no choice but to get my shirt work in on this day. Everything felt like absolute shit, nothing was going well, and so I just took my opener and thing what my second will likely be to a board, and shut it down there. Sometimes that's just part of training process. I guess at least I know my opener should be good.
I also now have a donation link available for donations towards Autism Awareness for this meet. If you have the time, any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated towards a great cause, thanks to Eric Stone and the APF.
