Erick15's First Blueprint Run
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 12:37 am
Hello, my name is Eric and I invested in the blueprint about 4 weeks ago with the intension of starting it 3 weeks ago. First thing that delayed me was I decided to take a week off before starting it as I had just finished a season of football. Next thing that came up was deer season and I was out of town for 6 days. Then the week of Thanksgiving I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to do the famine during this week. I finally started the blueprint yesterday.
Background:
I am 17 years old. I currently weigh 178 pounds. I am 6’2”. I started seriously lifting at 16 almost exactly a year ago. When I started a year ago I was 175lbs. My lifts were roughly: Bench - 195, Squat - 205, Deadlift – 320. I ate somewhere around 4200 calories for the first ~3 months of lifting, I then slowly tapered that down to about maintenance. My lifts in about 5 months went to: Bench – 235, Squat – 275, Deadlift – 415. I went from 175 to 200 pounds in 5 months with very little fat gain, my abs stayed defined the entire time. After the beginning of April I slowly started to quit lifting and lost interest in it. Over summer without school I slept in past 12 almost every day and my diet was terrible. I would just eat whenever and didn’t eat near enough. I went from around 195lbs to 185lbs during the course of summer. Football started in July and once that began I lifted with my team but not outside of that. And mostly we do conditioning and not heavy lifting during and right before the season. I lost another 5 pounds during football season from not eating enough. Since last spring my lifts have drastically gone down. I’m not sure on maxes but my guesses would be: Bench – 205, Squat – 235, Deadlift – 360.
Cliffs:
- Started lifting 1 year ago
- Quit after 5 months
- Lost almost everything I gained
Day 1:
Weight: 177.5lbs
Diet:
Breakfast:
1 cup of grapefruit juice
1 banana
1 multi vitamin
1 omega 3 pill
Snack:
1 cup of raspberries
½ cup of almonds
½ a cucumber
Lunch:
Salad(Lettuce, cucumber, a small amount of oil and vinegar)
1 cup of milk
Snack:
Small baked potato
1 cup of carrots
1 banana
1 multi vitamin
Lift
Cardio: 15 min
Dinner:
½ apple
1 banana
10 celery strips
I got this diet off of one of the stickies and the total calories according to the sticky is 1365. But I think I ate just a little under what the diet called for so maybe more like 1250 calories.
Lift 4pm:
Squat: 6x3 175 lbs (barely could get the last set)
super setted with
Cable Rows: 6x3 120lbs (failed on 5 on last set)
Standing EZ bar Curl: 6x1 60lbs (should have done more weight, was too easy)
Incline dumbbell curl: 6x1 50lb dumbbells
Standing cable curl: 6x1 70lbs (barely got 6)
Cardio directly after lift for 15 minutes. First time I had done any cardio in 4 weeks and before this the only cardio I did was from football and being a Tight-end I usually just blocked and rarely ran routes so I didn’t get in much cardio from that either.
Today was pretty hard with the diet, first time I have ever dieted before. Felt very hungry the entire day. The lift went pretty well in my opinion. I definitely felt like I didn’t have as much energy during my lift as I normally do but it wasn’t too bad. Ordered supplements from mass today. I ordered 3 bottles of Kre-Anabolyn, 3 bottles of Mass Pro Amino, 2 bottles of Mass Pro Whey (1 chocolate, 1 mvp), and I got a free bottle of Burn It Up.
Day 2:
Diet:
Breakfast:
1 cup of grapefruit juice
1 banana
Snack:
1/2 cup of almonds
1 cup of raspberries
½ cucumber
Lunch:
Salad(Lettuce, cucumber, a small amount of oil and vinegar)
1 Apple
Snack:
10 celery sticks
Cardio: 15 min
Dinner:
Salad(lettuce, croutons, and caesar dressing (I went to eat out with my family and the dressing came on the salad. I looked it up and the dressing had 240 calories in it. The salad itself was not large at all though))
Throughout the day I drank a bottle of green tea with honey and ginseng in it. It had 175 calories in it.
Cardio: 15 min
I am guessing I ate around 1200 calories today. Total cardio today was 30min. I feel good and hunger is not too much of an issue. Today was easier than yesterday hunger wise. My legs are pretty sore today, back is just a little sore and biceps are not sore one bit.
