You could probably bench 300 right now. Jelly lol. Where’s your BW at?

Eh, we’ll see in a few weeks. I’m hoping to get 305. Anyways, my bodyweight is about 193-195. I eat less on non-training days, so that’s definitely helped me to stay under two bills, which is really important right now for my physical fitness tests for the military.

Nice squatting yesterday bro.

Fuck dude; I weigh almost 225 and I’m also closing in on 300. FML.
I’d like to try losing some fat myself, but I’m not entirely sure how to go about it.

Well, kinda depends on how tall you are, too. I’m only 5’7", so I have some pretty good leverages for benching (medium length arms, short torso). Some of the linemen on our team (almost 280 lbs, mind you) can’t even bench their bodyweight, so be thankful for the strength that you already have.

If you are serious about losing fat, get a baseline for what you usually eat by logging a week or so of your normal eating. This will let you see how many calories and what kind of macros you typically eat. From there you can make subtle adjustments (i.e. increasing protein, decreasing/increasing fats, decreasing/increasing carbs). Make healthier food choices in general and cut out most liquid calories. Once you starting noticing some difference from your eating, experiment with adding a little bit of conditioning into your training.
I also have to emphasize that, for at least a month or two, you log all of your food. This keeps the guessing to a minimum. After that month you should feel a little more comfortable with your estimations for different amounts and types of food.

This is what I did. I took a step back and tried to get a broader picture of what I was eating. I figured out that I was eating way too many carbs (a.k.a. sugar). I cut out about 80% of the sugar in my diet and my weight gain hasn’t been as dramatic, if any at all. So, I’ve kept my weight gain AND fat gain to a minimum. Yay me.

Thanks dude. A log could behoove me, I’m sure. To be perfectly honest, I’d rather save formal damage control for a later time, but I’ll try to clean some stuff up in the future. I’ve also been doing some more conditioning lately, too. I appreciate your helpful advice man.

Also a casual suggestion is when you eventually do do total damage control dont be afraid to experiment to find foods you really like… I hated chicken 3 times a day, so I switched to tuna and turkey. Little things will make life a little more bearable.

I can eat chicken till I’m blue in the face, or just about any other type of meat for that matter. Just gotta find what works for you. It takes a bit of experimenting, but once you find your niche, expose it and give it everything you got, 'cause it can only benefit you in the long run.

Finally figured out what the fuck I can do for conditioning that’s always worked wonders for me: gassers and suicides. Back in 8th grade, I played basketball and football for coaches who were nuts about conditioning, so naturally, my distance times went down. We would typically run 15-20 suicides a practice with about 30 seconds of rest in between and that got my mile time down to 6:15, but I was about 135 lbs back then, so 60 more lbs and a lot less endurance will the recipe for some entertainment. I’ll be hitting up the bball courts tomorrow for some crazy ass suicides. Can’t wait 
CS
I should also note that I did 7 pull-ups by myself today. That’s a 5 rep difference in about a month. Fuck yeah. Next goal is 10 by myself in another month. I know I can do it.

I just noticed something. It looks like your following a seemingly identical progression with your bench as to Coan’s well-known bench routine minus the additional light bench day. From what I heard, it’s a solid program.

Yes, it is pretty much exactly identical. The flat, paused close-grip, and inclines are the same, but the assistance work changes.
Before this program, I had only been able to bench 225 for about 4 reps. Now, I can probably do it for at least 8-12. The higher reps in the beginning are awesome. I actually like them.

Hey man, if you are concerned about making weight for the Army APFT work on your neck thickness. You can tape out and be “over weight” We had a fat bastard (around 5 6 weighed 237) tape out with his double chin neck. You can make it. Like Jim Wendler says “Having a big neck is cool”
It just fucking is.
That being said, good results coming off of hard work man! I think you can go far with whatever you pursue.
