While I might not still be back to 100%, I'm healthy enough to compete bench only. Therefore, I am currently in meet prep, where I will compete at the APF/AAPF Summer Bash on July 29th, 2017. I'll be competing the 132-lb. weight class, multi-ply, where I look to bench press 500+ pounds, yet still mending my low back issues.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comThis weekend I was out of town up in Minneapolis, MN for two good friends' wedding day. Adrian and I made our long drive up on Friday night. We slept in on Saturday, and then got some brunch and headed up to American Strength to train. I was basically on a deload week where I couldn't go over 300 pounds. I still got in some good volume, while Adrian worked up to a deadlift PR. It was great to get some training in before hitting up the wedding and having a ball with Justin and Amanda. Very thankful for great times with great people.
