23 Oct Paul Oneid – 7out Squats, Pulls and a Seminar
MEAT PREP TIME! I’ll be competing at the EPC (IPL) Finals December 10, 2017 up here in my hometown of Ottawa, ON. I’ll be lifting at 220lbs and coming home with a nice $2500 cheque. I am still working with Jonathan Byrd as my coach and Tucker Loken-Dahle is still helping with my diet. This off-season was perhaps my most productive to date and I am looking forward to showcasing the improvements I have made.

Deload was last week and things are going awesome – my body feels fantastic! This day fell on the date of the last seminar that I had scheduled for the fall. I have really enjoyed having the opportunity to do these seminars and speaking engagements. Since I left the coaching profession, it is the teaching piece that I have missed most and these events have allowed me to do something I really love. This particular seminar was held at my fiancee Pam’s CrossFit box. We had about 12-15 members and 3-4 non-members in attendance. It is the second seminar I have done at CrossFit 1855 and both have been received very well. Many of the members know me as “Pam’s Fiancee, the powerlifter,” so it is aways fun to share my background, experience and expertise with them. They have such an awesome community and I hope they have me back again in the future.
The seminar was from 11:30 to 2ish. I trained at about 4pm after I had eaten and laid down for a few minutes. The walking around and coaching really got me warm and I actually felt awesome after my warm-up, instead of fatigued as I had originally worried. That being said, this day was challenging. Byrd had me work up in doubles to 3 top sets, then pull 2 top singles. The squat has been feeling awesome, but the deadlift, not so much. Squatting and pulling on the same day is still new to me and by the time I get the bar on the floor I am pretty pooched. The issue is usually that I have trouble holding my wedge and my hips pop up a tad faster than I would like them to. Same story on this day. Good news is that my deadlift always feels like garbage during this point in a meet prep. I know that as soon as Byrd drops me to singles my deadlift will get a nice boost. I am still ahead of schedule progress wise.
