Feast day #12

I haven't been as sore the past couple workouts so I don't feel like 2 days off is necessary so workout #4 will be later today - hopefully it goes better then the last workout.

Hey man thanks for checking in - I was actually toying with this idea last night and you make some good points and I agree so calories will stay the same for now unless rob has a different idea. I'm just ready to get things rolling.

Workout #3 - calories right around 3,600. Bench press 275 x 2 DB pullovers 65 x 4 EDT Block Incline DBBP: 85 x 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4 BB Bent-over row: 215 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 Total reps = 68 Squat 285 x 3 SLDL 185 x 3 EDT Block RDL: 225 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4 Leg extension: 160 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 Total reps =...

Feast day #10

No workouts over the weekend - workout #3 will be later today so I will be updating again after the workout. Weight right now is at 196 still - very surprised I haven't gained back any of the weight I lost during famine.

Day #7 of feast - workout #2 today, calories right around 3600... Bench press: 250 x 5 DB pullovers: 55 x 6 EDT Block Incline DBBP: 80 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 BB Bent-over row: 195 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 Total Reps = 72 Squats: 255 x 6 SLDL: 135 x 6 EDT Block RDL: 205 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 Leg extension: 130 x 6, ...

I can't believe how sore that first workout got me. My chest is fully recovered but my hamstrings are still sore - still gonna give workout #2 a go today.

Yes, smart move on the extra day off! Yeah, theres no way I would be able to bench, or squat today. For these initial 5 workouts, is it ok if I follow a 1 on, 2 off schedule? I just don't think 1 day will be enough for me to recover between workouts since I'm working the same muscle groups each tim...

Day #5 of feast - no workout and diet was around 3600 calories. DOMS is ridiculous right now - I am extremely sore particularly in the hamstrings and chest, so I think I am going to take an extra day off tomorrow (I'm assuming this is alright to do?) Otherwise I'm feeling good.

So today was feast workout #1 and it was pretty tough, definitely different then what I'm used to. I did the following... Bench press 230 x 9 DB pullovers 50 x 8 EDT Block Incline DBBP 70 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 BB Bent-over row 175 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 Total reps = 72 Squat 225 x 10 SLDL 135 x 8 EDT Block...

Pull overs 8-10 reps

No need to apologize, Rob - this is what makes this place so great. You don't just give generic answers to everyone who asks the same question, you answer based on that particular individual. I really appreciate that! So today is day #3 of feast and I have been keeping calories as close to 4,000 as ...

Congrats on making it through! GENERALLY speaking: Days 1-3: Calories at 20x bodyweight and protein at 1.5 grams per pound Days 4-11: Calories at 18x bodyweight and protein at 1.5 grams per lb Days 12-28: Calories at 15x bodyweight and protein at 1.5 grams per lb Days 29-42: Calories at 12x bodywei...

Well I finally made it, and it felt GREAT to eat this morning! Average waking HR during famine was 72 and my weight is now 196 (-4), which surprised me as I was actually expecting to lose more then 4 lbs. Thanks for clearing all of that up Rob - can you please give me all the numbers for properly fo...

Workout #3 for famine done and it was pretty intense. Happy to be finishing up famine and ready to EAT tomorrow! Just have some questions before I begin feast. The first is in regards to how long before workout #1 - should I be starting the workout Monday or Tuesday? Training should be 1 on-1 off, o...
