Btw is soup ok to eat? I find it to be more filling and I'm able to surpass hunger longer.
lol i too found solace in soup for the famine phase!

just keep an eye on the amount of servings listed and the sodium content.

Famine: workout # 3
Squat [200] 10, 10, 10
Single Arm Cable rows [65] 12, 12, 12

Standing Barbell Curl [75] 10
incline db curl [40] 8
Concentration curl [40] 7

Workout was done within 20 minutes with warm ups..

tried for 30 second breaks between each set, was hard.. glad it was quick :D

last day on famine :D

I was feeling fricken lethargic today, took a pre-workout, Muscle Marinade. Imho if Jack3d doesnt do much for you, this wont.. it gave me some energy and woke me up a bit, but gave me limp dick :S

already gave into indulgences today had about 5000 calories with nit picking at food.. ~450 + carbs and ~400 proteins. most food was nutrient rich.. only kinda bad thing I ate today was a creme protein shake that I used for milk in my cereal and pudding that I had later on today..

2 slices toast [180]
1 cup of potatoes [113]
2 eggs [147]
5 oz of roast [230]
Total macro's 670 Calories, 63,2 grams protein, 62.6 Carbs, 15.9 Fats

lunch meal
Image
2 pitas
+ 5 oz of roast beef
+ 2/3 cups of cheese
~657 calories. 62.3 Protein. 40.7 carbs and ~24 grams of fat


Image

same as meal lunch meal but more veges.

just a side questions what should I aim for my macros to be during phase II, normally I try for 50 - 30 - 20, but i think ive read that carbs need to be higher than protein and to keep ~1.5 grams of protein for body weight, but since my calories will be changing as I pass through this stage will my macros change as well?

5,000K/day, sweet :)

Macros.... yes, you have a nice split there. I do recommend a slightly higher carb intake (60%) at least earlier on. It's important insofar as getting traction early, likely due to the insulin activation in delivering nutrients like glycogen/amino back into the muscle cells.

You're doing a fine job here and love the pics. Good eats :)

Very good.

On the EDT blocks, I usually perform 1 warmup, then run with it...
