09 Jun Paul Oneid – Deadlifts
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 9, 2017 up here in Montreal, QC. I’ll be lifting knee sleeves only at 220lbs.

I am going to preface this video by saying that sometimes, you don’t have it. Some days, you shouldn’t just grind through it. Some days, you have to know when to ease off the gas pedal. The key is understanding that a day in which you back off is NOT a wasted day, as long as you have intent. Intent, in this case, means that you are mentally trying to do the right things. As long as you are intending to perform the way you want to, good things will happen in future sessions. Just because it doesn’t click today, doesn’t mean it won’t click in your next session. Had I tried to gut out this session, it would have affected me in the rest of my sessions this week, possibly next week and it would most certainly have crushed my confidence and derailed what has been a VERY positive off-season so far. I intended to move the bar the way I wanted to, but my body just wasn’t having it for whatever reason and that is OKAY!
Now, this set doesn’t look terrible, but it moved much slower than I would have liked and I was having trouble holding my back position. It was also misloaded 20lbs too heavy. I did the work, but it gassed me. The plan was to go up and hit 5 more singles at a heavier weight (which was also misloaded 20lbs heavy), but I did 2 and called it there. Now, I am a bit frustrated, because even the misloaded weights should have been manageable, but at this point in the off-season, I am not surprised they didn’t move the way I wanted them to. Had I not made a stupid loading error, today would have been a great day and my momentum would have continued. Instead, I got some heavier work in, cut my losses and moved onto accessories. No harm, no foul. I’ll come back next week and pay more attention to detail.
