Wed 1/26/22 - Squat

Garage Gym

(Squat)145x6,155x6,165x6,6,6

(OHP)75x6,85x6,95x6,100x6,6,6

(RDL)135x10,185x10,205x10,225x10,10

(LowInc)135x12,125x10,10

60 mins

Started with squat for 6 @RPE 5, 6, 7x3. I did a lot flexibility work yesterday that included long deep squat holds, knee flexibility, etc. I wasn't sure how my knees would feel today. They felt pretty good (a little discomfort now as I write this). RPE for the last sets was ~RPE 7, 7-8, 8.5. So, I think perhaps I start working up to a top set @RPE, then back off so I don't have RPE drift up to overshooting.

Next was OHP which felt good again today. Still keeping conservative here and building momentum. Supersetted RDL's here and they felt good. Finished with some low incline. I just put some 35# bumpers under 1 end of the flat bench. Good WO.

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.
