65 + 6 = 71 mins

Push day. Started with incline and didn't feel great during warmup. I was going to go lighter but decided I might was well see how 165#'s went. I ended up getting 5 sets of 6 reps, which is 1 rep better than last weekend, so I was pleased with that. Did a drop set of paused reps and worked really hard throughout that set. Still finding it hard to believe how heavy 165#'s feels. Gotta keep at it. Next we did OHP for 3 sets. Then raised the angle of incline and did 3 sets. Then incline fly's for 2 sets with abs. Finished up with skull crushers & close grip press combo and more abs. Skull crushers were to near failure, than did presses with the same weight, no rest. Very good.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 185.0 this morning. Ate a lot last night and had chili with lots of spices which always makes me hold a lot of water. Gaining weight and a little strength which is good, but I'm going to have to drop some water for upcoming birthday pull-up challenge.

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.
