I’m currently in meet prep for the 2016 XPC Finals at the Arnold Sports Festival on March 5th, in Columbus, Ohio. I will be competing at 132 pounds, raw with knee wraps.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.comWednesday was yet again another extra little leg pump day at the rec center. Just trying to keep the blood flowing, as I was certainly feeling Tuesday's training session. It felt good to just get moving and loosened up a bit, especially as these days are going to be dwindling. Nothing heavy or crazy, just a good in and out session again.
However, I have some NEW meet news. I will be competing at the APF Illinois State Meet on April 3rd. This meet isn't going to be anything exciting. I'm merely going to this meet to get a total and qualify for APF Nationals down in Orlando, FL at the end of May. For this meet, I'm going to be competing at 148 and just hitting about 75% weights or so, so it's not going to be a true meet for me. Just doing the minimum to get to the next step (nationals). If I wasn't doing the XPC Finals, I would certainly treat this meet like any other, but knowing that I will be competing 4 weeks after XPC's, and roughly 6 weeks away from nationals, I'm going to be smart and not destroy my body doing too many meets (hard) in a short time frame. I will likely not even go too crazy at APF Nationals either, just enough to win so that I can qualify for world's in November. So not huge news, but there is more on the agenda for sure in 2016.
