Hi Everybody,
just started my 1st Blueprint run!
Famine Day 1
Meals:
Breakfast:
- 1 Apple
- 1 Kiwi Fruit
- 1 Orange
Daytime:
- 2 Apples
Post Workout:
-small Mix of Broccoli and whole green Beans with some butter
Workout:
Did the first workout as described in the Blueprint, added one superset for Legs
1 Leg Squat
+
Step Ups
as I didn't feel much after the Leg/back Superset.
Also added some Geranium Extract for Increase in cAmp and Appetite Reduction, is that okay?
What do you guys think of the diet, okay or too radical?
Feeling good at the moment. Muscles are feeling bit shaky and "empty".
Definately expecting some slowness in my thinking that day.
myLog feat. The Blueprint
You didn't include your weight, but do try to stick with the 8x bodyweight with calories. That 5th day is no picnic and you may want to try and get all the allowed calories in, as it has a pretty rough workout included. Your body will be shocked if you follow the program as outlined, so no need to cut out more calories.
I can't comment on the supplements used, someone else with more knowledge on the topic will have to chip in. Good luck and just remember the benefits you reap after this nuisance of a week is well worth it.

First, welcome Stef!

A. Stims are OK. Do check with your doc first though. Always best to be cautious about such things, especially during Famine. Check first with the doc - always.
What do you guys think of the diet, okay or too radical?
A. A bit radical. As the poster above said, stick to the BW x X guidelines. The goal isn't to starve, simply to deplete muscle substrate. A mild caloric/certain macronutrient deficit plus the training gets it done!
Feeling good at the moment. Muscles are feeling bit shaky and "empty".
A. This will intensify as time goes on. Above all else: HEALTH FIRST! Can't stress this enough. If you ever feel sick, off or just "not right" discontinue. Especially that third workout.
Play it safe, and please err on the side of caution. I always do... and I'm the guy that wrote it!
Great work so far

Little bit information about me:
25years from Germany (so sorry for the english, will try my best
Originally coming from the Athlethics Field, so I'm not the typical BodyBuilder.
In fact I always had kind of a skinny, more athletic Type of Body.
Changed my Job few months ago, now working in a leading position of a fitness centre.
Need to add some mass!
My stats: (Hope I am doing that one right, have to convert it)
5,84 Height
161 lbs
Bodyfat should be pretty low at around 10 or 11 %.
Diet Today:
Breakfast:
- 1 small cup of Kellogs Toppas
- 1 Apple
Daytime:
- Some Hands of mixed nuts
- 1 Apple
Post Workout:
- Soup of Brocoli and potatos
- 1 Apple
- 1 Orange
- Some Grapes
Workout:
- Did 30 Minutes intensive Cardio on a treadmill
Sleep:
- about 6 hours last night (should I try to get some less?)
Wasn't feeling so hungry today, which is kind of weird. Fruits are keeping my hunger in good level, i guess.
Still feeling muscle soreness of yesterday's workout.

Hey friends.
Feast Phase is just 1 day away from now.
Got my 5th day of famine right now.
Yesterday was day 4:
Diet:
Breakfast:
- Oatmeal
- some nuts
- 1 Orange
- 1 Apple
Daytime:
- 2 Apples
- Grapes
Post Wo:
- Big Soup of different vegetables
- 1 Orange
- 1 Apple
Workout:
Wanted to do some cardio but then there was hot iron group fitness scheduled for friday night, so just jumped into it.
Thought this could be a good thing, as the goal is to empty out all of the glycogen stores.
Was kind of a hard session for me as there were so many reps with those small weights, left the class all wet.
Couldn't wait to get my 3rd workout in famine this evening.
For feast i got BCAA, Creatine and ebol ready.
Will load with BCAA the first 3 days and then maybe change to protocol #1.
What was your experience with the 3on/3off loading protocol? Worth the price?
And all of those foods i have put to my list those weak
I also plan on visiting my favourite chinese buffet tomorrow!
