Elderadoracing's 2nd Run- 3.0 tweaked.

ElderadoRacing · Post by **ElderadoRacing** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 12:05 am

After a week off from my first run I have started my second round of The Blueprint. This run will be a variation on 3.0 as I will be doing GLP2 along with most of 3.0. I want to gain some serious strength on this run.

I plan on sticking to the diet as closely as possible. In my first run I feel I probably under ate on calories, especially protein. With this run I plan on using the diet outlined in 3.0. I really like the calorie staggering.

In my first run I gained 35lbs on my bench, 25lbs on my squats with some added depth, and 5 pounds of solid muscle.

Current Stats:
1RM: Bench-200
Squat-250

Goal:
Bench-225
Squat-300
weight- 180

Current Measurements:
Weight: 173
Hips: 33"
waist: 34"
chest: 41.5"
shoulders: 48.5"
arms: 14"
legs: 23"
calfs: 14"

Alright man, fantastic start.

GREAT first run. Going to be even sweeter 2nd time around, and I'll be here every step of the way!

Thanks Rob, your support has been amazing. I really appreciate it, along with all the other fellow blueprinters.

Famine is kicking my butt something fierce. I kinda fell off the wagon a bit today. So far, diet looks like this; 2 pieces of toast, Subway veggie sub(6"), 2 pints of oh so tasty beer, ceaser salad, 2 baked potatoes, small salad, 3L water.

Weight- 172

Waking Pulse: 62bpm

Great work man.

No worries on falling off the wagon, happens to us all. Saddle back up, and ride...

Train to Gainsville, leaves first day of Feast...

My fellow Canadian!

During famine I always find that if I limit myself to fruits and veggies all day it makes things so much easier. Starches (potatoes, corn), bread/grains, sugar, and meats all made me feel really good at first, then like total garbage an hour later with headaches for the rest of the day. If I had nothing but fruits and veggies, I could eat more, stay feeling full longer, had great energy, and just easier over all.

Just my 2c hoping to make it a little easier for you.

I have to agree with the veggie thing. A full head of lettuce in a salad with peppers, tomato, all the fixin's and you feel full for an hour.

V8 is also strarting to be a friend of mine.

So I have been pressed for time but did a P90X workout today, chest shoulders and tri's. I seriously got my butt kicked. I feel weak. I am a little nervous as I am only down like 2 pounds so far. my pulse seems to be jumping all over the place, however I keep falling asleep trying to take it.

Weight= 171

Pulse=66

Can't wait for FEAST!!!!

Wow,, you are doing awesome, keep up the great work!!! Are ya doing any supplements this run??

I can't afford any supplements at all my first run, but I plan on using at least the main supplement mentioned in 2.0 by the time I get to the 2nd run.....

Great work man. Now remember, HEALTH FIRST!!!

If you at all feel sick, off or just not right - DISCONTINUE. P90x is tough enough, without the Famine diet so proceed with caution.

Otherwise, great work!

Can't wait for FEAST!!!!

Late to the party and just caught this now... How is it falling off the wagon? Beers totally legit during famine :p

I'd be more concerned about the 2oz of pork on the day before!

Doin good work man, keep it up!!

I second the "what supplements you taking this round" question

Well it seems I am having some difficulty loosing weight on this round of famine. In fact I gained a pound yesterday. My pulse is up to 68bpm. I fell back asleep the first time so redid it and managed to count them all.

As for supps, I will be using the "Formula", KA as it is amazing, multi vitamin, lots of protein, BCAA's, and some White Flood to kick start my workouts. If I decide to try anything else out I will be sure to update the list.

Weight= 172

Pulse= 68bpm, average start was 58-60.

Rob what do you think? Am I good to go?
Cause I need some serious protein!
