Kelly Smith speaks on her battles with injuries
South African bikini bodybuilder Kelly Smith has spoken about how injuries brought her 2022 season to a halt and how she plans to make up for lost time in 2023.
Right before I won SAs last year I tore my rhomboid and right before traveling to worlds I tore a hamstring, so I’ve been rehabbing my injuries and finally only in a building phase now.
Kels is now fully focused on bringing her best ever package in 2023 and she has outlined the goal the team has set for her:
Myself and my coaches (Riaan and Rachel from RiShape) are focusing on building the upper body more this time round. With the injuries, we have noticed that my upper body is very weak and unsymmetrical. Basically the goal is to bring my symmetry back and start adding some more muscle mass to the the glutes and shoulders (without building the quads too much and arms)
