Deadlift light work: 395x5x2

[Karl Schudt]

Trying to be good about logging. I missed a day or two.

Today was deadlift singles, non-sumo.

490--I missed the first time because my hands slipped. I reinforced my hook, took a deep breath, and got 490. then, 500, 510, 520. I loaded up 565 just in case, and tugged on it for a good 5 seconds. It might have moved a little bit off the floor, so that was encouraging.

Bench Press: 355x3x6

Chinups + 40: 5x5

[Karl Schudt]

Moar bench press:

345x2x6 3ct pause.

Slingshot: 440x2, 405x2x2

Press lockouts, forehead height: 257x1x5.

Heavy squat singles: 450, 460, 470, 480. 470 was pretty good, 480 had a little bit of knee slide, but nothing like it used to be.
