Sun 8/30/20 - Full Body (Deadlift)

Garage Gym

(Deadlift)135x6,185x6,205x6,225x6,6

(Incline)bar,95,125x8,145x8,155x8,8,8

(OHP)105x8,85x12,9,75x10

55 mins

Started with deadlift, keeping it light and working up to 2 sets @RPE8. These were lower than @8 intensity, but I’m just trying to work up slowly and this was heavier than last week. I want to keep being able to do deadlifts and work up slowly as my knees get better. I wanted to keep going heavier, but I get into trouble when I do that. Next was incline working up to 3 sets @RPE8. This was 5# heavier than last week, RPE’s for the top sets were probably 8, 8.5, 9-9.5. Definitely overshot on the last set. Solid work. OHP next for high reps was a struggle after incline. I didn’t get as many reps as last week and had to drop the back-off sets. Solid WO.

Nutrition/Weight:

181.4 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.
