Thu 2/12 - Lower/Core

Workout: Work Gym
(SmSquat)95x12,115x10,135x10,10
(HangLegRaise)4x10
(70#LegExt)3x12
(85#LegCurl)3x10
(10#CrunchTwist)18,16,16,16

31 + 5 w/u = 36 mins

Short time for a leg WO. Work crazy busy today. I warmed up with some light squats in the smith machine going real low (ATG - Ass To Grass) and it felt good so I decided to do squats instead of leg press today. I kept the weight light but got my legs out fairly far in front and went real low. Doesn't take a lot of weight to get quads and glutes screaming mad. I supersetted these with hanging leg raises. These hurt like hell on my elbows and shoulders - especially bad today, but good ab work.

Next I triple-setted leg extensions, leg curls and crunches with a twist. I bumped the weight on leg curls and extensions from last WO. Short WO, but it did the job.

Nutrition:
I weighed 183.8 this morning.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
