Paul Oneid – Off-Season | Deadlift Progress

I competed in my first meet after a year break on November 24th, 2018. It was a big momentum boost and I am 100% healthy and looking forward to a productive off-season.  I’ll be looking to compete at some point in the summer, but haven’t decided when or where.  In the short-term, work and my family will be my number 1 priority with the launch of a long awaited project and a cross-country move to Calgary, Alberta with my wife Pam and our pups Meatloaf and Beefcake.

All I can say is that each week my deadlift is feeling stronger and positions are getting better.  Last week I found that a wider stance with more toe flare really made me feel strongest, so I stuck with that on this day and the last set felt just as good as the first.  The cambered bar squatting continues to feel solid as well.  I am really liking doing them first.  I’ll continue to add a little bit of volume each session to these until I get to 5x5sets, then I will rinse and repeat with 20lbs more.  The conventional felt a tad heavier than it should have, but I did more on the 2 previous movements, so that is to be expected.  More focus needs to be taken to pull my chest up and keeping it there as I transition above the knee.  I need to break that poor position badly.  Got a sick upper back pump after all the pulling.
