Garage Gym

(Squat)150x6,165x6,175x6,160x6,6

(FeetUpBench)115x10,135x10,10

56 mins

Squat for 6@RPE 6,7,8 -10% 2x6. WO called for 3x6 @RPE8 for top sets, but I've been finding that I end up overshooting pretty much everything that way by the 2nd or 3rd set. So, I decided to work up to a set @RPE8, then back off for the rest of the sets. Hoping this can keep me closer to proper RPE. For squats, it worked out well since my backoffs were still in the 7.5-8 RPE range. Next was OHP and I followed roughly the same format. Worked up to a top set of 6, then backed off. Pleased with OHP this block. I've remained fairly conservative and haven't had any trap issues as a result. I supersetted RDL's with OHP. Here I did straight sets on the top weight. Finished up with some light feet up bench.

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.
