After talking with a friend, I decided to make an online log to help keep me honest with my training.
Currently, I am 6’2, 300lbs at about 28% body fat. I am a competitive strongman, with my next contest date being September 27. My goals are to get leaner will getting stronger than ever.
My excuses:
I work 0400-1200. Getting up and 0300 leaves me tired all the time.
I have an son. While my wife is great and will take over duties so I can train, I need to do my part as well, just being a part of his life.
My gym:
I train in my basement for the most part. I have the basics - bench and rack with ~700lbs of weight. I have a sled as well, and tomorrow I will have a Texas power bar on order. I also have a few heavy dumbbells.
I also train in a private gym, warehouse style, except it is in a basement under a sex shop and coffee shop. (They are two different stores.) This is where the strongman training happens, as well as powerlifting style. We have the racks, benches, plates galore and a couple of machines. This is where my training group, Hyperforce, trains and where I make the most gains. I can only get there Thursday nights and Saturday mornings due to my work schedule.
My schedule :

Bench: 3X8, 4X6,6X4 or 8X3 (I will stick with one scheme until I fail, then move to the next and carry on)
