Fri 5/28/21 - Full Body (Bench)

Garage Gym

(Bench)125x6,155x6,175x3,190x6,195x6,200x6,190x6

(BoxSquat)95x10,115x10,145x10,10

(LowDBInc)80x10,60x12,12

(Pushup)2x12

(Crunch20#)2x10

62 mins

Started with bench for 6 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% 1-2x6. Felt good here, but definitely top end of RPE's. First back off was @9, so I didn't do any more. Next we did box squats for 10 reps @ 6,7,8x2. Hadn't done box squats in a while and they felt good. It was getting warm in the garage and I got a good sweat going. Next was low DB incline for 70%AMRAP, 63% for 2x12. I'd been using 70#DB's for my top set, but I got 15 reps last week so I bumped to 80#'s today. I was pleased with 10 reps here and happy to get 2x12 with 60's. Finished up with 2 sets each of pushups and weighted crunches. Very good WO.

Nutrition/Weight:

179.8 this morning. Broke 180 this morning after hovering around it for the last week. Still feeling great, even getting stronger in some lifts. Solid!

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.
