425 Wilks. Really solid! Well done.

[Chris McCarthy]

Great lifting, Karl - pleased to see your Bench is no longer threatening to overtake Deadlift too!!

[Walter Palmer]

Very impressive, Karl. Congrats.

Thanks, gentlemen.

One problem with the increased amount of coaching is that I have been neglecting my log. Here's today's fun:

Competition Deadlift 440 x 1 x 3, 387 AMRAP Got 9
Press 200 x 1 x 3, 175 AMRAP x 2 Got 8 on the amrap
Close Grip Bench Press (1 ct Pause) 337.5 x 3 x 5
Dips 4 x 8 RPE 8 bw+65lbs to start

[Ryan Arnold]

Nice Deadlifting!

[Karl Schudt]

I have been bad at logging. I'm sorry. I am still training.

We took a vacation to Disney World, and the damn mouse stole my gainzz. I did 405x5x2 and 405x2 on Tuesday and it felt like death. The deadlift at 405x3 also felt like death. Then, Wednesday I squatted 420x4x3 and pressed overhead triples at 200lbs. Life was better. Then, back on the program today, and I was nearly normal.

Squats: 440x1x3, 387x11 amrap.
Bench: 380x1x3 335x5 amrap x4 amrap, all paused.
Deficit deadlift: 415x5x2

[Bryan Dobson]

Good to see your log active. It sounds like a good time with the family!

[Karl Schudt]

Back on the gainzzz train.

Deadlifts in the morning. 470x1x3 felt heavy. 405x3amrap. I gave it a good effort.
Press: 200x1x3 easy. 175x9x2 amraps.
CGBP 335x3x5
Dips + 70lbs 4 sets of 8.

[Karl Schudt]

Working with SSOC has cut into my logging time. Nevertheless, I am still training.

Yesterday:

Competition Deadlift 488 x 1 x 3, 445 AMRAP got 4
Press 1.5 215 x 1 x 3, 195 AMRAP x 2 got 5
Close Grip Bench Press (1 ct Pause) 347.5 x 3 x 5
Dips 80 x 8 x 3

[Karl Schudt]

Still lift. Just don't log much.

Tonight:

Press: 233x1x3. 208x4x2

CGBP: 360x3x5, paused.

I think I should close-grip 405 just to say I did it.
