OK now careful on going into workout #3. I always counsel this but if at any time you feel sick, "off" or not right - stop. Health first.

Otherwise your workouts/diet look spot on. Nice work!

cardio

Post by peb5048 »

Do you have any suggestions on my cardio session tomorrow? My plan is to do a 30 minute jog on about 7-7.5 mph. If I was going to run around 12, should I hold off on food until around 230 because it is an hour later than when I ate today?

day 4

Post by peb5048 »

The cat is out of the bag and its the truth, day 4 of famine is no fun! I woke up to day at 7 after going to bed at 1 am. Today was the first day I actually woke up hungry. I fought off the hunger until about 1215 when I went for a 3.5 mile run in thirty minutes about 7mph. I finished my run around 1245pm and my first meal of the day was at 130:

Meal 1 (45 minutes Post Cardio – 1:30 pm)
10.4 oz Grapefruit
7.9 oz Fruit Salad (Pineapple, Strawberries, Cantaloupe, Blueberries, Honeydew)
180 Calories = 1 F/ 46 C/ 3.5 P

Day 5

Post by peb5048 »

So, thats what ammonia smells like haha. I completed workout 5 and I'm on my way to finish up my famine. I have a quick question:

Tonight should I try to get 8 hours of sleep in order to start preparing for feast?

I will post my workout and food in a little bit.

Okay, so this is going to be a lot, but here is my plan of attack for days 1-11 of feast. The first two days I am going to take off from lifting in order to recuperate from the hard famine that I just encountered. On Sunday I plan to do my first lift later in the day that way I get 2.5 days of food and rest in my system before attempting Workout 1. The way I am going to break down my Workouts for 1-5 is in two days and it goes like this:

Workout 1

Day 1 –
Warm-Up Bench Press
Bench Press w/ Dumbbell Pull-Over (Stretch Position) 1x8-10
EDT BLOCK:
Incline DB Press
Seated Cable Row
EDT BLOCK:
Barbell Curl
Lying Tricep Extension

Day 2 –
Warm-up Squat
Squat w/ Stiff Legged Deadlift (Stretch Position) 1x8-10
EDT BLOCK:
Front Squat
Leg Press
EDT BLOCK:
Hyperextensions
Russian Twists

After I perform Workout 1, I will change up my EDT blocks on Workout 2 to get a more total body effect. I will then return to my EDT blocks in Workout 1 during Workout 3 and back to Workout 2’s EDT blocks in Workout 4, and so on…

This is what I plan my schedule to look like:
Sunday – Workout 1; Upper
Monday – Workout 1; Lower
Tuesday - Morning Cardio
Wednesday –Workout 2; Upper
Thursday - Workout 2; Lower
Friday – Morning Cardio
Saturday – OFF

On days off I plan on eating 3,100 Calories a day and on training days I plan on eating 3,720 calories a day. I just want to take my time and thank you properly for everything you have done for me, you are a true inspiration and provide me with proper education and motivation I need to obtain my goals. ALL FEEDBACK IS WANTED GOOD OR BAD!!!

Great plan Peb. Looks good..

Now The BP stipulates 3 days of rest before undertaking 1-5. Just curious why 2.5... scheduling conflict?

The frequency schedule looks agressive BUT if you can recover from it (you know better than I) then go for it. I personally like a one on/one off during this time perhaps inserting an extra rest day as needed. Just observe general recovery levels and play it by ear.

Your body will tell you...
