I've asked a LOT of questions and I'm glad to give back. I came into this with ~6 months of weight training experience and nothing more. The famine HURTS. I was able to get through it with slow, methodical eating throughout the day and lots of water. Believe it or not, I actually couldn't wait to do...

So thanks for the responses. A couple notes: 1) My goal here is to strip away the fat, fast. Just for personal goals, I'd rather have solid abs but sacrifice 5-10 lbs of mass right now than be huge and look "fit" but not "cut". I do want to have more mass, but feel that the abs a...

So I'm about to do the 4th set of GLP on BP in my first run. Per Rob's suggestion, I can try and cut the last 4 workouts (2 Squat/2 BP). His suggestion is 100% of calories on workout days and 85% on non-workout days. I may have to drop that down to 70% but I don't want to lose muscle. What are recom...

Just from my experience, I don't think my strength will be compromised when I lower calories. It doesn't usually seem to be. No doubt my squat will be higher. The last GLP (#4) was easy. Bench I'm a little worried about but think I will pull it off. Just from your experience, do you think I will be ...

Ok... Right now here are my stats: 5'8" 153 lbs 38" chest (thickest point) 13.5" biceps (flexing) 33.5" waist My best guess is about 11% body fat. Obliques are starting to show and the bottom two abs look close, but I need to eliminate some fat. I'm on my 4th set of GLP for squat...

So I just finished the second GLP of Bench Press. It hurt! I am dying by the last set. So far, I haven't gained any weight. I think I am retaining a lot of water weight because towards the end of the night, I am 157-158 but when I first wake up I'm still 152. I am DEFINITELY gaining strength and wor...

Ok and what about lack of size in my arms and chest? Anything else I can do to help? If for the last two weeks I go 70%/100% zig zag, do the workouts change at all?

IF your strength is still up and IF it doesn't compromise LBM gains then you can experiment with this the last 10-14 days of Feast. Ideally, you finish up the GLP workouts early but if not DON'T sweat it. You can start zig zagging in Cruise. What's possible? Provided you stick to it and cardio is p...

I'd suggest downshifting cals the final two weeks of Feast to 100% and 70% on non-training days IF you think your bodyfat is unacceptable at that point. Keep in mind cruise is a nice time to do this to and if that doesn't do it, your second Famine will :) In all honesty it's such a tall order to se...

But my cycling is maintenance and then maintenance plus 500 so can I still burn fat? Yes I should have clarified.. the calorie rotation does help and will create the needed (slight) caloric deficit to kickstart fat loss again. And sovabrat is right... the cardio accelerates it. The key here is objec...

It's largely the calorie rotation... Wouldn't the calorie rotation help? I am rotating my calories. I can get some more accurate info later tonight as I'm off to GLP squats right now. I'm more concerned with the lack of upper body size gain than fat loss but still want to figure it out. I am only s...

Sorry... I just started GLP in Feast (my first run). I just meant that I have done the second "pattern" for both BP and Squat. Does that change your opinion?

So I just wrapped up the second set of GLP in Feast and am seeing phenomenal structure and growth in my legs. While my BF is too high to see lines in my legs, I feel it and touching my legs feels weird because there is such new structure there. My upper body isn't seeing it though. My bench is defin...

Ok so is it just those two workouts? I'm just alternating those two or are those examples? What else do I do EDT fashion? I need some biceps! I want big arms. Also, no weighted belt at the gym so should I sub non-weighted dips or the tricep press down machine? Other issue is the low cable deadlifts ...
