Tue 4/13/21 - Full Body (Squat) - Begin Hypertrophy I - 4th time

Garage Gym

(Squat)75x8,95x8,115x8,135x8,145x8

(Incline)115x8,125x8,135x8

(RDL)135x12,145x12,155x12

33 mins

Started a hypertrophy block today. Squat was 8@RPE6,7,8. Legs and knees felt pretty good today. Incline was 8@RPE6,7,8. This did NOT feel good. My left shoulder/pec is not well and 135 that should be a warmup weight was not easy. It doesn't help that I haven't done incline in over 3 months, but my pec needs time to rehab. RDL's were also affected by my pec/shoulder issue. Definitely not used to higher rep work!

Nutrition/Weight:

186.8

Hello, thanks for sharing information, great inspiration for your progress.
It would be possible to share the best workout to lose fat, as so much experience I think is the best person to ask, it would be upper / lower, fullbody etc, and frequency, 4 days, 3 days, and how many exercises, repetitions and sets

If I could share, I would be grateful because the information that exists is contradictory.

Thanks.

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.
