Floyd Training Log

friday-benched 295x2 very bad. Im going back to close grip. This was with grip 3. I have given up on being able to bench with a semi wide grip.

monday-squatted 365x5. not too bad.
Good Morning-225x6x2
pushed cooler-4 trips of about 20-30 yards. dont know the exact distance

Today-deload bench-205x5
then db row-75x17
pushed cooler-6 trips, nearly passed out.

military-190x7
dips and chins-took 6 sets to get 20 dips. terrible.

gonna stick with dips and chins until I get back good at them. I used to be really good at chinups.

deadlifted on Wednesday
up to 425x5
then standing on mats 335x5x2

Abs on swiss ball and did reverse hypers on the bleachers.

ran 10 stairs. thats all I had time for.

Weight at 281. down from 294.

benched 285x3, did the wrong workout. I am an idiot.

then did 20 dips in 5 sets. better than last week. did chins too.

squatted 335x9=435

ssb good morning-3 x6 with some weight.

will run and do abs this afternoon. And I really mean it. I have been pushing coolers and running stairs and have steadily been losing weight without changing my diet a whole lot. Used the 4th hole on my belt today for the first time since I competed at 265. Too bad I am not as strong as I was then.

Military-200x5=233 not horrible

dips and chins-took 4 sets to get 19 reps, one less than last week. I guess the max set on military took its toll.

weight is 280 and I ate like crap this weekend. had fried oreos last night. So I am probably around 278-279 for real. Thats down from 295. I also think that is why my strength isnt progressing like I would have hoped. But losing weight is more important now. As long as I am not getting severely weaker. But my squat is going up. go figure.

yesterday
deadlift up to 455x4 then 315x10

Then did 2 sets of 45 degree back raises with one set of swiss ball leg raises. weight was 277 today.

Ran 20 stairs with a 22# weight vest yesterday also.

Bench is too horrible to post.

Then did some dips and pendlay rows. 4 sets of each. weight was 277 yesterday. Thats 18 lbs from January 6th. The thing that always goes when I lose weight is my bench.

been training hard for the past year just not much to talk about.

I have gone back to training my lower body westside and my upper body 5/3/1. I loved Westside for my lower body and reps work better for my upper body so Im combining the two. I would love to compete again although monetarily that might not be possible. When I left this log I was trying to lose weight and I succeeded in getting down to 258. My conditioning greatly improved but I lost a lot of strength. I am now around 270 with much more muscle and my strength is steadily going up. Im going to try to lose weight a little slower this time and still be able to perform a little better.
