Wed 10/14/20 - Full Body (Squat)

Garage Gym

(Squat)115x6,135x3,165x3,185x3,200x3,215x2,175x6,160x6,6,95x12

(LowIncline)95x6,125x6,155x3,175x1,185x1,145x6,6,6

(SLDL)40x8,50x8,8,8

62 mins

Started with squat, workout called for 1@RPE8, 6@RPE9, -8% 1-3x6. I worked up to a heavy double around RPE8-9, then backed off according to my estimated 1RM. Felt really solid, knees good. I think form was fairly good throughout. After this, I did high-bar light weight for 12 reps to see how that felt after having heavier weight on the bar. Felt really good and smooth, knees felt great.

I went to the chiropractor today. Shoulder/trap/arm is feeling better, but I’m still being cautious about returning to OHP. So I did low incline working up to a single @RPE8, then backed off for 3 sets of 6. The top single felt really good/easy, but I didn’t want to keep going up. Back off sets felt good too. I supersetted DB single leg SLDL with back-off sets. Solid WO.

Nutrition/Weight:

183.4 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.
