Wed 5/18/22 - Squat

Garage Gym

(Sq Garage Gym uat)185x1,195x1,165x4,4,4,4

(LowInc)135x5,145x5,155x5,5,5,5,5

(Deadlift-2")185x4,205x4,225x4,245x4,4

42 mins

Squat for 1@8, 4@9, 3x4@75%. My lower back has been bothering me since all the driving this weekend and then deadlift/squats on Monday. So I took it easy today and worked up to 195# for top single, felt it a bit in my back, so stopped there. Skipped the 4@9 set and jumped to 75% sets. I did 4x4 since I skipped the heavy set of 4. I super setted low incline and deficit deadlift. I swapped low incline for comp bench because of R shoulder, still finding entry points. I didn't go heavy on low incline, but got volume and almost no pain. I was conservative on deficit deadlifts. First time doing them, and because of my back. These actually felt really good, still stayed conservative. Decent 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.
