Fri 2/25/22 - Bench

Garage Gym

50 mins

Bench for 1@8, 6@9, 3x6 @70%1RM. Worked up to top single and felt good the whole way, top set @8.5. Top set of 6 was solid @8.5 and then 3 back off sets felt good, on fairly short rests, starting @RPE7.5, then hitting 8.5 at end. All good pauses, some reps were probably 2count. Next I super setted barbell lunge squats and t-bar rows. Last week on lunges I went light and made a big jump. Today my top sets were lighter, but overall volume was at heavier weight. Either way, these are hard for me and I get worn out by the end of a set. Rows were good, back off sets were done at top set weight from last week. Progress. Finished up with VMO squats, assisted.

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.
