64 + 10 = 74 mins

Warmups felt pretty good and I decided to go with 85#DB’s. First set was great at 9 reps. 2nd set started well but I misgrooved a rep with my R arm and got pinned. Had to bail on the set. Right shoulder pretty painful. Dropped to 75#’s for 2 sets and 65#’s for a set. Paired incline with seated cable rows with the stack. Disappointed with the 2nd set of incline, but still good work. Then we did shoulder press and pulldowns.

Next we did skull crushers for 2 sets, plus a drop set with heavy curls for 2 sets, plus a set of hammer curls and weighted crunches. Finished up with face pulls, fly’s and crunch twists. Good WO despite
the 2nd set of incline.

Weight:
I weighed 173.4 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.
