Thanks rob I appreciate it. I was starting to get a little discouraged after a couple of those disappointing sets of bench press. I'm anxious to see where things go from here. One question though - at what point should I start decreasing calories. I actually think I've lost a little bodyfat so far b...

Thanks, will do - although I haven't been using an intra workout drink up to this point, but I have a tub of intrabolic on the way. I will make sure to increase carbs pre and post workout, though.

Great, thanks for the encouragement. So you suggest I increase calories to 4,000 calories, or so, mostly carbs? Is there a particular time of day (pre/post workout) when I should be consuming these additional carbs? I've actually been taking 2 days off in between workouts so I don't think recovery i...

Have there been other cases where a person didn't gain much strength, or even felt a little weaker during the initial 5 feast workouts?

Yeah I like to use a belt - I think it helps.

Feast day #16 Weighed myself first thing this morning and came in at 198 (+2), so I'm glad that my weight is finally increasing since famine, even though it seems to be coming along slowly. Thanks for the comments Rob - so in your experience, this is normal? Also should I keep calories up at 3600 or...

I was actually in the same boat as you. I had never done RDL's prior to starting the Blueprint, but had a lot of experience with convential DL's and SLDL's, so I too found the RDL's a little awkward in the beginning. However, after a few gym sessions you will start to get the hang of it and the moti...

Feast day #14 Feeling pretty good today - I probably could work out but since next workout is max day on the bench press I feel like the extra days rest is a good idea. So tomorrow will be workout #5 - biggest issue is trying to plan my workouts when I know I have a spotter. Hopefully I won't have t...
