Glad to be back. I really enjoy the "structure" and "freedom" that is the Blueprint. I needed to stop my second run in July due to alot of obstacles with my schedule and my gym relocating to a new building. It has taken almost 2 months but the gym is finally complete. I'm expecti...

Beachpirate's 2nd run... again

After a month or so off I thought it was time to get back on the wagon. During the break from the Blueprint I continued in the gym and felt like I was finally getting back in the groove of lifting. I have grown more comfortable with the new equipment and the gym is now fully geared up. At the beginn...

Rob, I have some bad new. I am going to put this BP run on hold for about a month and pick it back up hopefully mid August. I have had too many obstacles to overcome since starting this feast phase that I have not been able to get to the gym and keep up with the program as I would like. I will conti...

Feast Workout #4 Deload I have been having some discomfort in my rt shoulder but it improves as I lift. I just need to take it slow in the beginning. I felt pretty good today on bench and cranked out my reps better than I have in a long time. I have already surpassed my max from my last cycle with 2...

Bench 135x5 185x5 225x3 240x2 I was pretty excited about this lift. My last BP run had my 1RM at 240 wi...

Beachpirate's 2nd BP Run

I decided that after having a rough couple weeks in and out of the gym to go ahead and start my second BP run this morning. I had been out of the gym and off supplements for a week so I thought this would be a good time to get back on the wagon. This run also corresponds with the opening of the new ...

Hit the gym again for back day but forgot my notebook to record lifts. I decided to try all the different machines that targeted back and begin to familiarize myself with each machine. Most were basic lat machines so I did about 20 sets on 6 different machines. I worked heavy enough that by the time...
