If you dont get sun...this product gives you color if you consume 2 caps a day? I loaded a bottle and ordered a 4 bottle combo. I haven't noticed any differences in areas that have not been exposed to sun. I lie out for 15-30 min on each side of my body on Saturdays and have been for the past few w...

A teeter inversion table and 20-30 min of daily stretching have helped my back tremendously. My morning routine was like this: 1) Inversion table for at least 5 min. This elongates the spine, sometimes pops my back, and sets the "mood" for the stretches to follow. Hanging upside down stret...

That's incredible progress. I'm extremely impressed.

Are you consuming below maintenance calories on your Warrior Diet days? I assume that you aren't counting calories at all on the all out cheat days.

My goal is to trim that fat for summer also. Again, I am extremely impressed.

What brand of DIM are you taking and at what dose? I just ordered Bioresponse's DIM 150. I'm also supposed to receive a book that details dosing protocols. I tend to hold onto fat in my midsection and lower chest so I'm interested to see how fat loss will be affected in these areas. Also, three of m...

Thanks for your response. Something dawned on me earlier today. I've been eating a low cartb diet regularly for the past ~2 years or so, following something similar to the Scivation cut diet, though not nearly as strict. Now, here's my theory...since I've been on a low carb diet for so long, my body...

This morning, the gain was only 1/4", so it was about half as bad as I expected. However, I'm still gaining. Bodyfat calipers show me at 25%(184 lbs). I started at 23% (177.5lbs), got to 19%(182lbs) at the end of my 4-week feast per calipers. So, from the start of BP 3.0 I've gained 2 lbs of mu...

Fat Gain During Cruise?

Anybody else experience this? I made great progress during Feast, but hit the point of overtraining and moved into the cruise phase. During the first week of Cruise, I screwed up using the Cruise spreadsheet by entering my BF% as .19 instead of 19. I caught the error after a week and after consuming...

Extend or Shorten Cruise

I've just finished a shortened Feast due to overtraining, so I'm transitioning into the Cruise. The problem is that a 3 week Cruise places my next famine right in the middle of Thanksgiving...not cool. So, I'm considering one of a few options: 1) Extend my Cruise by one week, so that Famine falls on...

After several attempts, I've been unable to attach pics. Maybe someone can look below to see what I'm doing wrong. In any case, I began the Blueprint 3.0 on 9/24/11. I fell short of finishing my 4th week of Feast b/c of overtraining symptoms (dreaded the thought of lifting, EDT blocks weakening, ele...
