18 Dec Paul Oneid – Rolling into meet prep
[wa-wps]
Over the last 10 weeks I have put in a TON of good work. My last meet was great and even though I PR’d, I still felt like a lot of weight was left on the platform. The bulk of my off-season was spent shoring up some issues with the bottom of my squat, my bench lockout and my back strength on the deadlift. I am definitely feeling ready to put all this hard work in display at the XPC. Bodyweight has stayed relatively constant at 237lbs, but I have put on a significant amount of muscle. My lifting belt is looser and my shirts are tighters. All good things, onto PREP!
Bench has been down and now coming back up. My set up tweaks feel awesome and I have a crap ton more leg drive. On the squat… something big is coming. I can feel it. My back has never been this strong and I am ready to hammer a big PR.
