27 Aug Paul Oneid – #AMBERALERT Deadlift is found!

I am at the tail end of a long off-season.  Things have gone perfectly to plan.  A lot of weak links have been improved and I am feeling stronger than ever.  I am still working with Byrd for my training and Tucker for my diet. My next meet will be 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.

If you’ve followed my training at all, you’ll know that I flared up my SI a few weeks back.  Since then, my deadlift hasn’t had the spice it normally does.  After a few weeks playing it safe and focusing on addressing the issue, I can happily say that I am back to 100%.  Things are definitely clicking right now!

The goal on this day was to hit a few singles at RPE 8 and then some heavier form pulls.  I think the weight used was actually my best double, but I moved it very well.  Definitely had more than a double in the tank.  The form pulls also moved really well for how fatigued my back was.  Block pulls, especially from below the knee, are my absolute least favourite movement.  I feel like a weakling, but I know that they make me stronger.  Probably why Byrd keeps making me do them.
