Fri 2/12/21 - Full Body (Bench)

Garage Gym

(Bench1Ct)175x4,195x3,210x2,220x1,230x1,205x4,190x4,4,4,4

(BoxSquat)75x8,95x8,115x8,8,8

(OHP)75x8,95x8,100x8,8,95x8

61 mins

Started with 1 count paused bench for 1@8, 4@9, 4x4@8. Very pleased with progress. My top set moved well. My back offs were good and were closer to prescribed RPE than previous WO’s. Past workouts I’ve been under RPE. Next I supersetted box squats and OHP on fairly short rests. Just getting some light volume on squats. OHP was tough today. It was supposed to be 8@RPE6,7,8x3. I went lighter than last week but felt like 95#’s was probably @8. I went up to 100 for 2 sets, but hit RPE9 so I backed off for the last set. When I overdo it on OHP I tend to get trap issues. Smart move for once today :) Solid WO. Bench took 43 minutes, squat + OHP took 18.

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.
