Fri 5/15/20 - Full Body (Squat)

Garage Gym
(Squat16")75x8,95x8,115x8,135x8,8,8
(OHP)75x8,95x8,105x8,115x8,100x8,9
(RDL)165x10,195x10,215x10,10,10
(BandSit)3x40

66 mins

Started with squats working up to 3 tops set. Still taking it slowly, knees have been feeling good. Next was OHP. Felt good working up. Bumped back up to 115#'s for top set shooting for @RPE9. This top set was probably @9.5RPE. I did two backoff sets, first @RPE8, then @9-9.5. I had to pause the workout for a work meeting and finished after with RDL's and band sits. Solid workout.

Nutrition/Weight:
I weighed 186.8 this morning. Third day under 190. First time for that in a long time. Feeling good.

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.
