08 Feb Paul Oneid – Off Season week 8

Tried a bit different of a set up and backed off the bar a tad. It really helped me set my back nice and tight. Deload deadlift day was a success, 405x1x5sets working on my wedge and getting as tight as possible. Rest day tomorrow, before a big squat session Wednesday. #deadlift #sumo #sumodeadlift #rawdeadlift #baconandbarbells #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #hotpam #ottawa #ottawastrong

Top set on high bar squat – 545×3. I am happy because I approached this set with a lot of confidence, but I am disappointed because I lined myself up completely off-center. All is good and we move forward.

All the reps today. Top set of high bar squats 425×10. It got pretty sloooowwww towards the end, but that's what I need. I'm a very explosive lifter and I suck at grinding. #squat #squatday #legday #repsforjesus #outheregrinding #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #hotpam #barbellcanucks #ottawa #ottawastrong

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!
