Mon 10/19/20 - Full Body (Deadlift) - Last WO of Power Building 2nd run

Garage Gym

(Deadlift)245x4,295x3,325x1,350x1,365x1,295x6,275x6,8

(Bench2Ct)145x8,155x8,145x8,8,8

(LowIncline)50x10,10

Last WO of the 10-week power building block. Deadlift working up to 1@8, then 6@9, then -8% 1-3x8 until @9 again. Since this is my last heavy deadlift day in a while, I wanted to go heavier then last WO. I did get heavier, but it was definitely over prescribed RPE8, probably a 9. Then I backed off to 295#’s and that felt good. I took 8% off and did 2 more sets, last set was 8 reps. Solid work. Next was 2 count paused bench. Last week I had a great WO on this movement. Today my shoulder felt a little wonky and I had very little sleep this weekend (camping trip that was really cold and Taryn cried most of the night). I was planning to try to match last weeks’ WO, but I got to 155 and it was enough for today. Then I backed off for 3 good sets. I finished up with 2 sets of low incline DB press. Strong start, moderate finish. Now on to a hypertrophy block.

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.
