Peb5048's first run at BP

RobRegish · Post by **RobRegish** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:05 am

You might run with straight monohydrate in cruise. If I have some laying around, that's what I use. I PREFER dicreatine malate though. You may want to toy with that if so interested.

On the calories, consider the following:

First 2 weeks: 120% of maint on training days, 100% on off days
2nd 2 weeks: 100% of maint on training days, 85% on off days
Final 2 weeks: 100% of maint on training days, 70-75%% on off days

OR

Descending caloric spiral as I outline in BP. Heavy up front, gradually taper calories as the weeks go by.

I wouldn't take them too low the final 2 weeks while you're maxing. Remember, Cruise is up to 3 weeks and you can diet more aggressively then if need be!

Go for it during Feast, adjust during Cruise. Approach it like that and you can't lose IMO.

Thanks since we decided I wanted to move large iron objects I haven't cycled off my 120% lifting 100% non lifting, and I think I might stick with it throughout GLP. I think it would be hard if I cut too much in my cruise. During cruise I think I am going to go with 100% lifting days and 85% non lifting days.

I looked into micronized creatine monohydrate. I plan on taking 20g/day for 5 days and then 10g/day afterwards for 4-8 week.

I also am going to start up my Burn It Up in cruise. Should I keep my peri-workout shake the same during cruise or cut it out?

Keep it. There's too much value in it and you'll likely keep gaining muscle during cruise. It will only help...

Does this mean I should do 120% training and 100% non training during cruise or 100% training and 85% non training?

If you are pleased with your bodyfat level at the end of Feast, the former.

If you feel you put on too much fat, the latter. Does that help?

Yes, it helps a lot thanks. Did wonders today in the gym, short on time though i'll post later

On my past two workouts I beat my PR Zones, for each so I am again going to change up my exercises.

How does this look for workout 5 (De-Load)

Bench 5 sets

EDT BLOCK
Weighted Dip
Seated Cable Row

EDT Block
Shoulder DB Press
Shrug

Decline Static Hold

What is the protocol for a deload during GLP

Very nice. You MIGHT want to consider dropping the EDT blocks for this ONE session to accentuate the de-load/taper.

For a look at how de-load workout #5 is structured, take a look at the link embedded on page 68 of your BP. Quite a dropoff and sets you up for BIG PR's in workout #6!

Well...today is the day. I am going for a new max on bench. Kept my calories up until now and I'm really feeling good. Going to get to the gym early to make sure I am properly warmed up and mentally prepared to go for 335lb bench (35lbs heavier than when I started the BP and 15 lbs heaviers since workouts 1-5)

-I'll post after

Just wondering...during cruise when do you take Burn It Up on training days and on off days?

cappla011 · Post by **cappla011** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:10 am

Damn dude... you're 155lbs and going for a bench press of 335lbs today!? That's sick!

Good luck man!

Well, today I finished my feast phase. It is now onto the cruise phase for 2-3 weeks. I plan on actually cutting down my calories a bit to 100% on training days and 80% on off days. On off days I will be performing some type of cardio.

With that here are my final stats from feast:

Beginning Squat - 405 lbs
Ending Squat - 445 lbs

Beginning Bench - 300 lbs
Ending Bench - 325 lbs

Beginning Weight - 152.8 lbs
Ending Weight - 160.9 lbs

For "Burn It Up" what is the recommended dosage for training and non training days?

I would like to know as well...

And awesome numbers Peb! Are the "mirror numbers" good as well?

peb5048 · Post by **peb5048** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:00 pm

Haha the mirror numbers are treating me very well, gained a little BF%, but not much at all. Still have a six pack w/o flexing, so I'm pretty happy
