25 Jan Paul Oneid – Off-Season week 6, day 4-5

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 back to normal, but I am still playing it safe and doing things to continue to progress my rehab. I am pain free, but still am working to correct some improper patterns I have developed over time.

I'm not saying I'm back just yet, but I took a really big step today – top set 500×4 high bar squat. Felt great, but I'm still scared, hence the speed of the squat. Even though it's a little wobbly, I could not be happier. #squat #rawsquat #highbar #legday #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #ottawa #ottawastrong

Supplemental work from yesterday's squat day – 355x4x5sets on the paused safety bar squat. I am using these after squats to get more comfortable in the hole and to re-teach acceleration. #squat #squatday #pausedsquat #safetybar #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #ottawa #ottawastrong

Bodybuilding work after deload work on the bench. DB press 120x10x5sets, Dips 105x10x4sets, 25 McGill Pull-ups and then some extra shoulder and tricep work. Body weight is down to 226lbs (-6lbs) and I'm feeling great #bodybuilding #deload #swole #jacked #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #ottawa #ottawastrong

Friday – Squat (Heavy)

Goal for the day was to work up to a top set of 4 at RPE 6.  Was supposed to have a big group training session with Jay and Kade because Dan Green and Jeremy Hamilton were in town for one of Dan’s seminars, which was at our gym.  Dan’s luggage got lost and I had to leave early to pick up Pam so I was done the bulk of my training by the time they all got there.  All good though!  Spent the weekend with 4 of the strongest dudes on the planet and had a great time.  Oh and I had a great session.

1. High Bar Squat – 425,455,475,500×4…  500 was a huge milestone for me in my recovery and based on how it moved, I am not far off my best.  Some big things coming!
2. SSB Paused Squat – 355x4x5sets
3. Seal Row – 5×10
4. GHR – 4×10
5. Walking Lunges – 4x40steps

Saturday – REST

Sunday – Bench (Deload)

Goal was to work on my set up and then get a lot of blood flowing.

1. Bench – 275x1x5sets
2. Db Bench – 120x10x5sets
3. Dips – 105x10x4sets
4. Mcgill Pullups – 25 singles
5. Db power Cleans – 3×15
6. Parallette pushups -3×20
7. Ring Facepulls – 3×20
8. Band pressdowns – 3×25
9. Db Curls – 3×25
10. Ring Fallouts – 3×10

The same warm-up was performed everyday:

• Hip circle – 200 steps
• Supine alternating hip hikes – x30
• Side lying clams – x20ea
• Lateral leg raise – x20ea
• Single leg glute bridge – x10ea
• Glute bridge iso hold – x:30s
• Big 2 (bird dog/ mcgill situps)
• Pallof Press (I prefer this to the rolling plank because it lets me feel the twist in my hips and correct it)
• TKE Iso-hold – 10x5secx 2-4sets
• On upper days
  • Band dislocations – 2×20
  • Band Pull aparts – 2×20
  • Mace Swings – lots
  • Pushups with scap protraction – 2×15
  • T-Spine mobilization – 2×5 holds

• On Lower Days

• Single leg RDL – 2x15ea
• Hip Airplanes – 2x15ea
• Bulgarian Split Squat – 2x15ea
• Squat Hold – 2x:30s

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!
