Paul Oneid –> Off-Season | Deload Week

I competed in my first meet after a year break on November 24th, 2018 and have recently moved across the country to Calgary, Alberta. Training will be ramping up slowly, but my focus will remain on my family and my professional endeavors. While I would love to compete again, I want to enjoy experiencing my new city and ensuring the success of a long-awaited business venture.  Stay tuned for more on that!

Deload week arrived at a really good time.  The hip is improving, all be it slowly, and I was feeling a bit run down.  This week I will continue to hammer the things that have worked for my hip and modify some things that didn’t work from the previous mini-block.  I am using this deload week to introduce the new movements/ structure at a lower intensity so I can hit the ground running next week… figuratively because there will certainly be no running involved.

The main change will be less squatting within a single session.  While front squats felt great (read as not shitty), that amount of squatting within a single session was a bit too much on my hip.  The solution is to decrease total volume and spread it out across the week a little better.  The other will be ditching the sumo deadlift.  It seemed to be the worst thing for my hip, so that experiment is over.  We will see how things progress after this mini-block and hopefully I will be healthy enough to ramp things up intensity wise after these 4 weeks.  Stay Tuned!
