I did 240 lbs for the set of bench. I got 4 entirely on my own. I needed a tiny bit of help on rep 5, a little more on rep 6, and quite a bit of help for rep 7. The final rep was one of those ones where you feel like you aren't even doing anything, but apparently my spotter wasn't helping me TOO muc...

Just a couple of notes for my personal use: Workout #1... -Used 210 on the bench. Shoulda likely done 215. -Did Inc. Smith Neck Press for stretch movement, just 25s on each side. Shoulda done more weight. -Used 235 for the squat. Felt about right. Zach's spotting kinda sucked at first, but got bette...

I figured I'd check my resting waking hr this morning. I got 65, 67, and 64 bpk. Keep in mind that today is the morning of famine day 4, so I have still not trained yet. I'm about to take some pics right now too, just to better track progress.

Made the little walk down to the gym once again to weigh myself. I was pleased to see that I weighed in at a little over 191 lbs. I am absolutely dying to train right now, so tomorrow cannot come soon enough. I'm looking forward to the lift, but at the same time I will definitely have to change up t...

Never got the chance to post again last night. But needles to say, I feasted like an absolute boss for the rest of the day. I took a little walk down to the gym to step on the scale towards the end of the night, just to see how much I gained on the first day of Feast. I ended up weighing in at a lit...

Forgot to mention: when I took my heart rate this morning it was actually not elevated at all, but was actually much lower. I got a couple readings at 66 bpm and one reading at 67 bpm... I hope this still means I will be on track. I mean, I definitely lost the weight that we are expected to lose dur...

Just hit the third famine workout... Ummmmm THAT WAS NOT FUN. It was damn near impossible to keep up with, cuz each set kept getting harder and harder. I made it through though, but did definitely have to lower some weights throughout the workout. That's not to mention how low the weights already we...

Yesterday when I woke up and took my resting hr, I was mostly getting 68 bpm. I got that reading three different times, and then got 73 one other time. Yesterday I walked with my dog briskly for a half hour as planned. I also did some bodyweight squats and pushups. This morning when I woke up I took...

And thank you for all the answers, Rob. I am looking forward to the PT that starts on Monday. I will have to give some of those other solutions a try. I used to use cissus religiously, but have not been doing so at all lately. It definitely seems worth revisiting. I actually usually buy the bulk Sup...

Yesterday upon awakening I took my pulse, and found that it was always 70 bpm, just like my baseline reading. I ended up not doing any cardio, which is good cuz I see Rob said it is not ENTIRELY necessary. Still dieted just as hard as planned though. I think I ended up eating under 1500 kcals yester...

I spent 45 minutes on the treadmill at my house walking on a slight incline. It just got annoying after a while because there would be times where the belt would slightly stick with each step I took. I had to take really rapid short steps to prevent this from happening entirely haha so it was more l...

Struck by a FAMINE!

This morning I took my resting hr again and got 70 bpm each time. So that will definitely be my baseline. I didn't eat anything before soon going to the gym shortly after. I warmed up a little bit on the stationary bike and did some lighter warmup sets with squats. My lower back was feeling a little...
