Pull day today and I wanted to change things up and add some variety. We started with Power Cleans...or attempts at power cleans. New movement for us and there's a definite learning curve. There's also some shoulder and wrist mobility issues for both of us. Going to take some practice. It was almost comical at times, and we have video to prove it :)

Then we did pull-ups. Weight was high this morning, but good efforts. Then we did bent over rows for 4 sets. This bothered my hands for some reason. Switched to a thumbless grip which helped a bit. Then we did curls and abs and finished up with some deadlift form work and band pulls. More hilarity ensued with deadlift form work. We hadn't done these in a while, and it showed.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 178.8 this morning. Ate a lot yesterday evening.

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.
