Wed 1/6/21 - Full Body (Squat)

Garage Gym

(Squat)95x8,115x8,135x8,155x8,165x8,145x8,8

(OHP)75x8,95x8,105x8,110x8,95x8,8,8

(RDL)145x12,165x12,185x12,12,12

(StepUp)2x25

55 mins

Started with squat. I didn’t know if I’d get to same weight as last week and I did a 41 min run yesterday so my knees were a bit cranky last night and this morning. They felt good warming up and I hit same weight as last weeks top set feeling good, so I went up for another set. Then 2 good back-off sets that were heavier than last week too. Pleased with my SLOW progress here. Thrilled I can do the movement. Next was OHP. Basically same as last week, but I did 3 back off sets. Very little progress here. Next was RDL’s for sets of 12, ugh. Finished up with some step-ups. Good Workout.

This is the last week in the Hypertrophy block. Need to think about transitioning to next block. Probably power building. Considering purchasing a strength routine to see what that’s like.

Nutrition/Weight:

184.2 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.
