Ok on the leaning out, this has to do with discontinuation of training. You'll often see competitive bodybuilders stop training legs 2 weeks out for example, b/c they show separation better in the legs. It also goes back to some intra-muscular swelling going down. Training is a form of "agitat...

So I stopped working out for a few days, ate around maintenance (not bad, not overly clean) and feel like I leaned out a little bit. Is this possible? I actually feel like every time I stop working out, supplementing it, etc., I lean out. Is it in my head? When I get the supplement you recommended, ...

Ok! Link is gone (sorry) and I will get the stuff you recommended. I'm a goals oriented guy. I like numbers and things I can quantify and I do MUCH better that way. Example, if you were to tell me to do max reps at max weight of exercise X, I would do my best weight and maybe 5 reps. If you tell me ...

Hey ha, going to poke in here again because I've been talking to a lot of guys at the gym in the same age/size group about his. They all want to put on LBM, who doesn't. This time of year most people have transitioned from bulk to cut, based on seasons gaining in winter and cutting for summer. I've...

Ok cool. Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to start the famine Wednesday I think. So you are saying the amount of body fat won't decrease, but the % will relative to total body weight? Is there any sort of cut after this? I'd like to melt some fat during the process, if possible - even if that me...

I guess I'm still a little confused. If it is banned, how am I getting those thermogenics? Can you link me to what I should order online if it is easier? Am I only using them during the famine? What is going to happen to my body fat over the next 6-8 weeks? Will I be able to burn fat and build muscl...

For the suggested products for Famine: 1.) A multi vitamin - Top of the shelf here is multi-life vitamin packs sold by MASS. They've converted a LOT of former animal pack, etc users. If you'd prefer a generic multi though, perfectly fine. 2.) Greens Product - Top of the shelf here are the fruit/veg...

Your not crazy, there shouldn't be suggested supps for the famine. It is suggested to be off everything including protein. In Robs post 5/15 he said "A thermogenic/intensifier is permitted if you're dragging and feel you need it pre-workout." Not sure....My pre-wo drink has creatine, prot...

Maybe I'm crazy but I can't find the name of the supplement in the ebook for famine... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, what do you recommend as a good reference for form?

Thanks for the feedback, again. So I should get the one supplement this week (nothing else) and take a break for a few days and then hit it hard. Should my water intake change? Also, is it that important what my fruit/veggie/carb breakdown is as long as my protein is <30g/day? My only other weak lin...

Thanks for all the support. I am 154 right now and if I replaced every pound of fat for muscle, i'd be happy. I have spoken to some personal trainers and legitimate people who have seen me and said that if I was a solid 160 with <10% bf, I would look very muscular even through clothes - but I wouldn...

Thanks for the quick response. With regard to fruit/veggies, how do you feel about fruit DRINKS? I.e., fruit smoothies from the produce department. Will what I lose during this week be fat, or muscle - or both? Also, why do you believe my goals are unique? Wouldn't most simply like to replace body f...

Ok... Here are my stats: - 22 - 150lbs - 5'8" - Roughly 12% bf (top two abs showing) I've been working out for about 6 months and dropped from 16% bf/163 lbs. My goal is to have nicely defined abs at about 155+. My weakest link is my eating. It isn't that I won't follow a plan, but I am one of ...
