Had a pretty good start to cruise today...took a cap of Burn It Up this morning, followed by eating at about 90% of maintenance calories, followed by another cap of Burn It Up and Quercetin about 30 minutes before doing some intense HIIT cardio...
I am thinking about making a slight change to my eating, which is to consolidate the 6th meal into the other 5 on some days.
Reason being is this:
I don't get home til 8:30 pm most days, then help put my daughter to bed, etc and don't get to the gym til about 9pm. 20 mins of HIIT cardio and back home around 9:30pm to 9:45pm. Means I am eating my last meal around 10pm, which means I have to stay up later than I want to make sure food clears my system before taking GABA. I could eat before I go do cardio, but then that would be less than ideal. So I am thinking if I just consolidate my last meal, I would be in a better position for optimal fat loss/growth hormone release at night...this would put my last meal for the day around 6pm or so...Rob, feel free to correct me if anything is wrong in the above thoughts...
For the second time in 3 days, someone out of the blue told me I "looked diesel", this time a new employee at our store. We were getting ready to leave for the day and I walked by him and he said "Goddamn, you are one diesel mothaf***er! Your arms are huge!" (I was actually kinda embarrassed about it because I only have 16 inch arms, but they look bigger because they are 90% tricep...if I could ever get my biceps to grow, watch out!!)
Now, mind you, I was working out for over 8 months before starting the BP and not one time in those 8 months did anyone say that word in reference to me. Now in the span of 3 days, 2 people who had no contact with each other and had never seen me before that day said basically the same thing to me.
I am not attempting to blow my horn at all, but I am making a point. I have gained enough muscle on the BP for it to be noticeable to others. Regardless of any statistics, measurements, weight, bodyfat, etc, that is REAL improvement.
That is just about the highest standard you can use when judging if a program works or not...if others notice it without knowing you workout, or having ever seen you before. IMHO, that has been the high point for me...more than the feeling of being He-Man in the gym, more than the strength gains, and more than the noticeable difference in the mirror...
I started this in Mid April, so in a little under 3 months(I don't count the 2-3 weeks I didn't do anything because of gout/ankle flare), I have gotten results that are so good, other people are starting to take notice. I am pretty much on cloud 9, and I am starting to look forward to see how many other people are going to make a "diesel" comment. Even one of my buddies who works out with me now and again and has been there the whole time recently made a comment that "Bro, your shoulders and back are getting wide as f**k!!"
Rob, as far as I'm concerned, you could spend thousands on advertising, have a "supplement of the month" club, start a fancy internet advertising campaign by blasting out emails to random lists, etc and it would never come close to the return you are getting from word of mouth advertising and from the results themselves...when they ask what I am doing, guess what I tell them?
"I do 3 sets of 10 most days, just trying something a little different today!" Then I tell them about the virtues of grinding up eggshells and downing it with some milk and grape juice mixed together...
Hell No! I tell 'em "I am part of the BluePrint Army!!" and where they need to go...don't be surprised if you start seeing an uptick in WNY members in the next 6 months!
I cannot wait to try those CNS Workouts with the Feast..IMHO that would be an almost unbeatable combination..heavy intense workouts to build muscle combined with "The Formula" and KA...only downside is lifting would be once every 8 days...
On a side note, I had a girl at my gym who was on a stair climber next to me ask me why I was "going so fast for short amounts of time?" I explained that working out is intensity dependent, not time dependent, and all she had to do to understand that was to look at marathon runners versus sprinters. Marathon runners run for hours and hours but look like stick figures because they burn muscle and their bodies actually try and store every fat gram they take in as fat. Sprinters do short, intense bursts and are built like chiseled rocks. She said "wow, that's really interesting", and then kept trying to talk to me about other stuff, but I told her I had to go...she was cute too, maybe about 25 or so...ahh, if I was only single now...hahaha
Looking forward to an anabolic fast tomorrow ending around 6pm...
On the AN, could be. I do know it hits me during week 3. I wouldn't say I feel "caged animal" aggressive, but I do feel "edgy".
