29 Jan Paul Oneid – Off-Season wk7, Day 1-3

A very tentative 565×4 top set today. Weight didn't feel bad, but I was very focused on feeling even tension throughout, so my speed suffered a bit. Very happy about this lift considering I squatted heavy Friday. #deadlift #sumo #sumodeadlift #cheaterstraps #deltgamestrong #rawdeadlift #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #ottawa #ottawastrong

Top set of front squats 325×8 (wanted 10, but upper back was cooked). This capped off +24,000lbs of squats for the day. That's what the off season is about – building the base of your pyramid. #frontsquat #squat #squatday #legday #powerlifter #powerlifting #rawpowerlifting #dynamobarbell #crossfitotown #powerrackstrength #teamprs #1020life #inzer #inzeradvanceddesigns #teampump #therebuild #dontcallitacomeback #progressisaprocess #onedayatatime #theyhateuscausetheyanus #offseason #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!
