Day 1 was good. It's tough not eating protein and fat, since that's all I eat. Plus my wife got burgers are a Reese's Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake. Haha. Oh well. It will still be in the freezer on Thursday when I'll go nuts. Yesterdays Food: 10:30 am - banana 12:30 pm - a ton of pineapple 3:15 pm -...

I took a couple pics this morning to make sure I'm making progress. I'll post them soon. My main goal is to recomp. I'd like to bring my body fat down closer to 10%, and I'd also like to add some lean muscle at the same time.

Famine Workout #1 is in the books. Woke up today at 5:15 am. Slept for a total of 7 hours. Started my workout at 6:00 am and it was over by 6:45 am. This is how it went down: Squat warmups: 8 x 105, 6 x 155, 4 x 175, 2 x 195 Squats: 6 x 195, 6 x 195, 6 x 195 superset Seated Cable Row: 6 x 105, 5 x 1...

Tomorrow I'll be starting a run of 3.0. I'm pretty excited. It's been awhile since I've done a run. For the past month, I've been doing Convict Conditioning. CC is amazing. I've only been doing 2-3 workouts a week, and I feel great. After this run, CC will be a huge part of my workouts. Blueprint 3....

Now, I have a problem. If I wait the suggested 2 days off, that will put my WO#5 on Saturday. I have a lot of commitments Saturday and not sure if I'll be able to make it to the gym. Is it ok to wait till Monday (4 days off between WO4 and WO5)? Or should I make sure I get into the gym tomorrow? 4 ...

On my last Blueprint run, which was my first run, I used the German Loading Pattern #1 with 3 min rest between sets. On this run I was thinking of using the same loading pattern with just 1.5 min rest between sets. Will this result in greater hypertrophy? If anything, you would want longer rest per...

If you go to a chiro and they don't do x-rays on your first visit, then you definitely need to find another doc.

Checked my heart rate again this morning and it's even higher. I'm now 12 bpm over my baseline. Can I stop this madness a day early? Please?

I would finish your 4th day of Famine today, and then tomorrow start your 3 days of eating your face off.

No, my understanding is you don't repeat anything. Just follow what Rob listed in the first post. It's 4 supersets and then 4 regular sets of triceps, that's it. This is correct. You do one set of each of the chest presses. Each of those sets is superset with a dumbbell shoulder press. Following th...

I totally agree. Maybe if we had little chicken legs they would be easier.

Good job making it through Famine. You did awesome! I don't really see Optimum Pro Complex being a substitute to Karbolyn. The reason Rob has us using Karbolyn is because of it's molecular weight. It is absorbed much quicker, and causes less bloating and allows you to recover from workouts much quic...
