I like to do 'em with back. Squats and deads on the same day is too much for me.

Thanks guys.

Famine - Day 2

So far so good. 1300 calories on the button. Mostly fruits and vegetables. And one slice of pizza

Feeling good. Looking forward to the workout tomorrow. Although, my breath is terrible!! Only three more days. I can do anything for three days.

Some starting stats:

Squat: 225 x 3
Dead: 315 x 3
Bench: 205 x 1
Mil Press: 165 x 1
BB Row: 205 x 1

Never did a 1RM of squat or dead, it makes me nervous with my lower back. So I just do what I can do with perfect form and call it a day.

Looks like you've made one hell of a recovery! Good to see you back in good health after all that you went through. ...and yeah, you were skinny!!! LOL. +20 lbs looks a ton healthier. I'm sure BP will help you reach your goals though. Thanks, man. It took a year to claw back to a starting point. No...

Well, it turned out that what I had gained was more fat than I had thought. At the end of my cut, I was sitting at about 172. So now, here I sit after 13 months of hard work. From 152 to 172. https://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab90/coreywilso/Progress/b72d72c4.jpg But, truth be told, I'm stalled ou...

So I started eating whatever I could get my hands on and doing Rippetoe's Starting Strength. I dirty bulked all the way through September of this year before I even gave a thought to a macro. I ended up this summer at about 184, but probably 15% BF. Still... Better. https://i852.photobucket.com/albu...

Just a little background, for those of you with long attention spans ;) I haven't always been this skinny and weak. In late 2007, I contracted a tick-borne illness called Rocky Mountain Spotted fever. It was ugly and nasty, and went undiagnosed for six months (I didn't have the rash). It took a full...

OK man, now hear me out on this.... If you feel sick/off or just not right - discontinue. I know "famine" isn't a great term per se but you should be eating enough fruits, veggies and other fiberous carbs to fuel these workouts. I hear you, Rob. I'm a big "listen to my body" kin...

Famine: Day 1 is in the bag. I'm sitting at 300 calories so far today, all preworkout. To make matters worse, I'm only a week out of a cut from 182 to 170 @ about 10% BF. Can't wait for a bigass dinner. Edit: I came in right at 1300 calories, but I had more protein than I probably should have. Will ...

Well, I'm in. It was a lot to digest, so please feel free to critique the heck out of what I'm doing. I'm gonna try to go by the book on this program, and see what it does for me. Today is Day 1 of famine. Specifically, I'm going to do a Warrior-style diet, with 2-300 preworkout calories from fruit....

Yep, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Would y'all recommend planning the EDT blocks to include the muscle groups targeted in the chosen German loading pattern, or would you avoid those, as they're already getting hit hard? Example: If I was targeting squats and bench in the GLP, could I add Quads/Hams into my EDT block on my bench days ...
