After finally getting an off season training cycle in, I am now in meet prep for WPC World's where I will be competing raw with knee wraps in the 132 pound weight class in Baton Rouge, LA on November 7th, 2016. My goal is to earn my first world championship.
For programming and coaching inquires, please email SmitleyPerformanceSystems@gmail.com or visit brandonsmitley.comSunday's bench press training marked the end of the final heavy weekend. I've still some some minor heavy work to take on during the week, but it has nothing to do with attempt selection or dialing things in, but rather just keeping the residuals right. Anyways, my bench press felt good and locked in, and I'm very pleased with how the progress this training cycle. It's by far be the best I've had going into a meet, especially with all the changes I've made in the past 4 months or so. Still a decent amount of accessory work, but just stuff that I know that I need to do to keep healthy and keep my strength up.
