(BOR)155x15/+5,5,4

(LowDBInc)70x12,12

70 mins

Bench for 1@8, 6@8-9, -8% 2-4x6 went well. 215 moved really well and I'd done 220 as my top single the last 2 weeks. 225 moved well and I know I had 1 more rep, not sure about 2. First back off set @195# was heavier than last week and felt good. Next sets of back offs were same weight, felt really solid, good pauses on all reps. Next was box squats for 8@6, 7, 8 -8% 1-2x8. Knees have been a little cranky since Wednesday squat day, but they felt better as I warmed up. Only did 1 back off because we're going camping/hiking this weekend. Next was bent over rows for Myo Reps, 10# heavier than last week. It was also harder :). Finished up with 2 sets of low DB incline. Another really good workout.

Nutrition/Weight:

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.
