10 Jan Paul Oneid – 9 weeks out Bench and Squat
[wa-wps]
I am prepping for my first trip to the XPC Arnold. I will be competing at 242lbs and looking to build on my 1960lbs total. I’ve had a very productive off-season working with Byrd and he will continue to handle my training leading into the meet. Tucker has helped me put on a significant amount of muscle and I am by far the biggest and leanest I have ever been. I am very excited to put all my work on display and represent Team PRS on the big stage.
My bench has never felt this strong in all honesty. I have a small tweak in my pec that will need to be given attention, but I am confident that if I do what’s needed I will be able to get back into training the way I need to. The new set up and the strength are dialed in, so there is no sense pushing things this far out. On the squat, let’s just say that the plan is working. 80% moving at RPE 5 is a really nice sign. I am sitting at 250lbs and feeling great. This added bodyweight is really helping my performance and my recovery with all the extra food.
