Wed 7/24 - Upper (8 year anniversary WO)

Gym: Garage Gym
(60#DBInc)3x10
(Pullups)10,8,8
(95#OHP)6,7
(135#BOR)2x10
(35#Skulls)11,8
(35#Curl)10,30Hx10
(LegRaise)2x10

34 + 4 = 38 mins

Early morning WO. Higher reps. Started with DB incline and pull-up combo. Definitely not used to higher reps on incline. This wasn't too heavy, but 10 paused reps got challenging after a couple of sets. Felt good. Need to do a block of higher reps before getting back down to the 5 rep range. Pullups felt OK. Then we did OHP and BOR combo. OHP felt really hard. Likely due to fatigue from incline. Finished up with DB skulls, curls and leg raises. Short, but effective WO this morning. Pleased for first real WO back from vacation.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 188.4 this morning. Only about 2 pounds up from 2 weeks ago. Not bad after 10 days off for vacation.

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.
