nigh7Owl, I understand what you’re getting at, but I think Rob is pointing you in the right direction with “opposed to boosting test during Famine, for reasons specified in 2.0” (but imo, mimetics would not be appropriate intervention…) The principle being applied is, instead of ‘preserve and maint...

No problem in taking your time to respond, it is appreciated greatly, whether sooner or later! This is actually my second run, so I gave it the 'pure' treatment first time through. My goal is mainly balanced-development hypertrophy along with continued recomp (currently ~10.3% BF want to get to 8%) ...

I use the Target Reps as a guideline, i.e., I guage by where I ended up in Week One with the programmed 4-6 Target reps. If I was able to maintain ~6 reps all the way through, I will keep the weight the same and target the higher end of the rep range on week two, aiming for the same weight + higher ...

Everything comes out (at high velocity) looking pretty much like a minced version of the way it went in...

Bump for response

Thanks, BrainSquirt. I think that I may go back to either my Max-OT roots that got me in and out in about 45-50 mins or perhaps a Stuart McRobert-inspired "Program" (Beyond Brawn. Build Muscle Lose Fat Look Great) similar to one that helped me get back on my feet after a year-long layoff d...

Thanks for the reply. So, to paraphrase, and please correct me if I am wrong, any protocol that puts me in the 6RM range with either a 2 or 3-day split 1 exercise & 1-3 work sets per bodypart will work for BLUEPRINT. Again, since mornings are the only timeframe that will work for me (non-negotia...

My workouts during FEAST are taking in excess of 1:40 to complete. Aside from the supposed detrimental hormonal impact of these longer workouts, I do not really feel 'out-of-gas' by any means, it is simply the logistical impact of the expanded timeframe that I need to address: During these summer mo...

Thanks so much for the reply, Rob. I'm going to go ahead and get the GPA/TMG in powder form (TMG available from TP) and add it to the shake. Thanks again!!

I will not be using KA on this run. I did my first Blueprint run with E-Bol, and I plan to run this one without any Ecdy as a comparison point. Depending on results, I may run the next one with the KA (or not). So... not sure where that leaves me in re: GPA/TMG.

Thank you so much for responding, 5.0stang! Hopefully, one of the three faces has the time to chime in, as you suggested.

Thanks again!

Looking for a definitive answer on the in-/exclusion of GPA in 'the formula' for 3.0: Should we still use it or not? Starting 2nd Feast next week... Also, if we don't need/use the GPA, is the TMG necessary, or is it beneficial in some other way besides preventing a potential increase in homocysteine...

Thanks for great the input. My initial question was really regarding the correct jumping off point. I am well practiced at experimenting at finding the right 'groove' for my body and individual physiology, but as this is a new program and the parameters for this phase were somewhat discordant betwee...
