AllAmerican-Life of a Gunner!

Hello all,
As I stated in my intro earlier I love this site and it's an excellent source of information and motivation to those who want to better themselves. Well I'm here to do both of those and to keep a weekly log of where I'm at physicaly to help better understand the things i have to improve to make me better at my job!
Here's a brief update of where I am and my current goals. I've recently began cutting weight over the past month or so after bulking for the past 3 months; before this I was a sluggish 185 lbs. Although I thought the added mass would help me out in my everyday activities as gunner; it had an opposite effect. So for the past month I've cut most of the excess fat off and I'm now down to 175. My plan of action over the next few months is going to be add some lean mass and hopefully get up to a lean 185 without losing any of my running endurance.
My current PT score: 74PU,82SU,13:41 2Mi

Well haven't been able to get to the gym as much as I usually do or as muchas i'd like to this week. Mostly due to being so sore from the cardio and circuit training on Monday. I split my gym routine doing upper one day and lower the next with a couple rest days a week, and trying to do lower on my off days of strenuous cardio. My workout consists of quite a few isolation lifts that I could bang out with a few compound lifts, but time isn't an issue for me in the gym so I chose to do isolations.
My upper body workout today consisted of:
Military Press
145x8 155x8 170x6
