Still kickin, here. I've just been eating and relaxing (mostly). I went to a metal show last night and moshed/etc. for ~5 hours. Yeah, yeah, a workout in and of itself, but I'm nowhere near as sore today as I was when I got home last night. I made sure to vitamin up (especially glucosamine/chondroit...

After famine you are going to want to take 3 days off to do nothing but eat and sleep(or at least 2), so I would recommend not working out Saturday...it would likely slow down progress in feast... This is good to hear. Honestly, I maybe should have done my first run without famine as this week has ...

Also, there's a 72 hour refeed after the 5 days of famine before your first feast workout.

Ah, gotcha. As for people benching more than their squats, they need to boost their squats or should start contemplating walking on their hands instead of legs. I've seen the logs as well though, and I even have a smaller bench:squat ratio than I'd like, but hopefully you get what I mean. But chanc...

Famine Day 3 Today had more fruit, apples specifically. Interestingly, a problem I thought I had behind me came back out, namely facial flushing and elevated body temperature. This was a problem for me before when I had been on SAD (standard american diet, i.e. high carb) that went away when I moved...

If you are having issues with fueling upper body movements, you are going to want to make sure you have "The Formula" for every workout in feast and cruise. It provides energy to the muscles throughout the workout and really helps as far as being able to continue and extend workouts... It...

you could move to 5x5 https:// www .joeskopec.com/five .html remove the spaces obviously but there is a good idea to make some gains outside of the blueprint loading patterns if you feel you are not ready. Personally I dont see how doing the Blue print would be anything other than tremendous for yo...

Re: Ragee's Log - First BP Run

Welcome to the BP family!! I would personally disagree with the higher rep ranges to gain strength. Strength is a factor of increased muscle, which is a factor of increased weight being lifted----its the only way the body knows how to do it. The reason behind this is gravity. When you lift heavier ...

I commend you on considering the less than optimal lifestyles of other guys your age and choosing not to fall in line because it is not fitting with YOUR choices and goals. Though, I'm of the opinion that drinking in 'moderation' (say 2-3 drinks max in a sitting, no more than 6-7 drinks in a given w...

REALLY CHEAP and LAZY Man's "Recipe"

Per "The Recipe" in Supplement Secrets: If you don't wish to wait or spend time/money for ingredient #3, you can simply replace it with "Muscle Rub" cream, available anywhere ingredient #2 is also sold! The menthol in OTC muscle creams will not only act as a carrier, but also as ...
