Sun 5/30/21 - Full Body (Deadlift)

Garage Gym

(Deadlift)185x6,225x6,255x3,275x3,295x6,305x6,315x6,300x6,6

(PinBench)125x6,155x5,170x6,175x6,180x6,170x6

(DBShldr)40x12,30x12,12

60 mins

Started with deadlift for 6 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% for 1-2x6. Felt good and rated top set @RPE8 and decided not to go any heavier. Back off sets were same as top set last week. Very pleased with this. Next was pin bench for 6 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% for 1-2x6. Top set was @RPE9 and first back off was also @9 so I stopped there. None of the heavy sets here felt "good", but still went heavier than last week and got it done. Finished up with DB shoulder press for 70%AMRAP, 63% 2x12. I increased weight on top set this week, but kept back off weight the same. Certainly a bigger % decrease than prescribed, but corret weight for today. Very pleased with this.

Nutrition/Weight:

179.8 this morning. Getting lean, feeling great about keeping/increasing strength!

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.
