I weighed myself yesterday morning at 234 lbs. When you consider that the Navy allows a maximum weight of about 192-196 lbs for someone my height, you wonder why I even bother to measure it.
Last time, I tried to drop 10 lbs in 24 hours to get down to the 229 where I easily make measurement and gave up too much for the effort and barely made measurement. So my goal was a much easier 5 lbs drop. Even with all the deadlifting and squatting and repetition work that I have been doing plus the elliptical, my weight is dropping gradually but I am starting to lean out and get thicker. I'm hoping that on Friday, the day I measure, I can come in at 233 before I drop anything.
My last week and I'm pouring it on, then I'll take it easy for three days before the PRT on the 29th.
Friday: Lunchtime:
Cybex ArcTrainer Elliptical: Level 6 Cardio, 30 minutes. Next week, it will be Level 7.
Evening (All notation: weight x reps x sets):
Incline Bench Press: 125x12, 11, 10, 9 reps
Nautilus Front Pulldown: 155x3, 165x3, 175x3, 155x3x3.
T-Bar Row: 145x3, 150x3, 145x3x4. I'm improving slower on this lift than the pulldowns, so next time this will be first then the pulldowns second.
DB Lateral Raises: 5xrepoutx6. Top set was 18 reps with a 12 rep low.
Incline Situps: 6 sets repped out. Top set was 20 reps with a 14 rep low. I think all the snatch grip deads have helped this, oddly enough. Did these while waiting for the deadlift platform.
Snatch Grips Deadlift: 185x10x2, 185x12, 185x11, 185x8. Could not find 2.5 lbs plates, so I lifted 185 instead. First two sets should have been 12 reps but I thought it was 10 reps, and I tried to make it up somewhat. My forearms were gone on the last set.
EZ Bar Curls: 60x12x3
