Paul Oneid – wk 2 Bench and Deadlift

[wa-wps]

 

I just competed on Oct 2, 2016.  I finished with a PR total of 1960lbs via an 805lbs squat, 430lbs bench and a 725lbs deadlift.  I’ll be taking the next 10-11 weeks to rebuild and work on some very glaring weaknesses in order to up my total again at the Arnold.  I have qualified now as a 220 and 242, but I have yet to decide which class I’ll be competing in. Byrd will be handling my training and Tucker will be working with me on my diet. My goal is to continue to get stronger, plain and simple.  Also, there will be lots of dog pictures.

So far training is going really well.  I am falling back into the routine and even though the weights are light, I am working hard.  As you’ll notice in the videos, I am having some issues judging my RPE a bit.  My stamina and consistency under the bar are taking a bit longer to come back, but things are coming along.  I am deloading next week, which should help me catch up.  I am also keeping with the trend of wearing distracting shorts on bench day in order to draw the eyes away from the light weights on the bar.
