Paul Oneid – 4 weeks out | Bench and Squat

November 24, 2018, I will be competing in the EPC Finals in Guelph, ON. This was the meet where I tore my quad in 2017. I have 2 goals:

  • Get to the meet healthy
  • Build momentum for the future

 

If there is a PR there, I will take it, but I am playing the long game from here on out.

Things are right on pace for where I need to be.  I would have liked to hit a couple doubles with 405 in a perfect world, but I’ll settle for 3 really solid singles and some board work.  I have a couple things to dial in with the bench, but overall I am really happy where I am.  Made a tweak to my set-up which is allowing me to be much much tighter and it paid off big time.  Will work up to something a bit heavier next week before dialling things back heading into the meet.

On the squat, I had to push everything up by a day to accommodate travel to the SWIS2018 symposium.  I was sore, not recovered, but I got the work done and hit my number… even after a scare lol.  We had the pound plates loaded on and the whip on the bar was so insane that I couldn’t walk it out, so we switched out to KG plates and I made the lift.  Really happy to be able to overcome that adversity and come out with a made lift.  Train for chaos they say LOL.  I will take another heavy single this coming week and dial it back heading into the meet.  I am prioritizing my recovery big time at this point, which means staying on top of walking and rehab work and making sure I sleep as much as I can.  Naps are also happening whenever possible.  I have to say it was a pretty awesome group to lift with at Fortis West in Mississauga.  Probably had a big deal to do with why I was able to hit that squat.
