After sustaining multiple low back issues the past year, and coming off a terrible showing at the XPC Bench Bash, I'm now I can do what's best for my body. I've recently opened up a new training facility, THIRST, so I'm trying to balance life and training the best I can, with hopes that I can compete in some capacity by the end of 2018.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comThis Monday training session was really lackluster. I hardly got anything in, and the things I did get in, were just so so. I'm due for a break and with our powerliting meet just a couple days away, I've got to focus on what I can to ensure our meet runs smoothly.
Everyone wants training to always be this golden platter program with incredible results, but many times, you've got to wing it and just get some stuff done and move on with life. Since I know I'm not competing in full power any time soon, I might as well just do SOMETHING, rather than nothing. Training at 9pm sucks. Getting up at 5am sucks. Not doing what I want training wise sucks. Being injured sucks.
But you know what, I have an amazing group of lifters, clients, athletes, and people in my gym that are depending on me to be a COACH. I will always be a powerlifter and athlete, but I know that for the next several weeks, I can't be what I want to be, and that's okay.
