54 + 7 = 61 mins

Morning WO before driving to Roan Highlands for a backpacking trip. No legs today since we'll be hiking in the mountains. Started with incline. It felt fairly heavy and I wanted to get 3x5 and some back off work. I got 2x5 and had to drop weight. Two more good working sets plus a paused back off set. I'm really able to push through these paused backoff sets and they feel good. I hope they're beneficial :). Next we did BOR for 3 sets. These felt really good. Wanted to do a 4th set, but since I'll be carrying a backpack all weekend, we stopped at 3.

Next we supersetted shoulder press and pull-ups. Then Band Fly's and supermans. Finished up with trips, bi's and crunches. Solid WO, not off to the mountains.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 192.2 this morning.

Backpacking:
Parked at Carvers Gap and hiked the AT NoBo to Grassy Ridge Bald side trail. Camped at the top of the mountain. Incredible views, beautiful campsite to watch sunset and sunrise the next 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.
