Fr 2/4/22 - Bench

Garage Gym

(Bench1Ct)165x6,175x6,180x6,185x6,165x6,6

(PlatzSquat)95x10,115x10,10,10

(Pullups)10,8,6,5,5

(DBInc)60x12,12

60 mins

Bench for 6@RPE 6,7,8 -10% 2x6. Bench felt good today. Same weight as last week, but this was @RPE8 instead of @9 like last week. Back offs were good. I'm recovering better working to a top set, then backing off, rather than trying 3 sets @RPE8, which spill over into 9's. I did narrow stance (Platz) squats with heels on a 2x4 today. High reps, fairly light, but still decent effort for me. WO was 10@6,7,8x3, but my jump to 115 went @6 to @7+, so I stayed there. Next I did 8min AMRAP of pullups. These felt better than weighted pullups the last few weeks. Finsihed up with 2 sets of moderate DB incline. Solid WO.

Nutrition/Weight:

177.8

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.
