Paul Oneid – Off-Season, week 11

[wa-wps]

I had knee arthroscopy on Dec 4, 2015 to remove a torn meniscus, as well as a partial lateral release to loosen up my IT band. Training is in full OFF-SEASON mode.  Next meet will be June 18, 2016.

This week of training was great and I am building a lot of momentum at the end of this off-season.  I want to take a moment and write about something beyond lifting.  This Sunday I asked the woman of my dreams to marry me.  I have had a lot of proud moments, but to be able to spend the rest of my life with Pam is the proudest moment of my life.

Ok enough sappiness, the week of training…

I implement 10/20/Life a little bit differently than the other team members. I prefer to work off percentages, even in the off-season as I find it keeps me honest and gives me a specific goal for each training session. Weights are light and I am trying to get my work capacity up. This is the beauty of 10/20/Life – It is a philosophy, NOT a cookie cutter program!
