04 Aug Paul Oneid – Deadlifting

I am currently in a VERY long off-season.  Mentally and physically, I need a break.  I’ll have lots on the go the next few months business wise, not to mention that I will be getting married, so this is the perfect time to enjoy an off-season.  I am still working with Jon Byrd for my training and Tucker for my diet and feel stronger than ever.  My next meet will be the EPC (IPL) Finals December 10, 2017 in my hometown of Ottawa, ON. I’ll be lifting at 220lbs and coming home with a nice $2500 pay check.

Byrd put block pulls back in the plan.  I hate them.  I suck at them.  I dread doing them.  You know what?  I know that is exactly why he keeps them in there.  My back needs to get stronger and doing what you suck at makes you a better lifter.  I will happily do anything that I know will make me a better lifter.  I have some money to win!

I honestly didn’t know how this session was going to go.  It was much later in the evening than I normally train and I am still not 100% from the SI issue I was having.  I made sure to warm-up really well and I was happy to get some really good work in with no discomfort.  That’s a win!  Also, to be moving weights this heavy this far out from a meet comfortably, that is great news.
