Bring the heave bucket, but works like a charm...

Ooh, a bucket is a good idea. At least I could keep it contained that way, without throwing up into "The Formula".

Yeah you for sure don't want to do that.

Although, now that you mention it.... it would provide a nice comparison to that of straight hydrolyzed whey/caseinate

............ew.

Today was Blueprint Famine day 1 and also workout 1.

Workout 1 is never too bad, because I still have energy from my food from the day before, and the workout itself isn't too bad. I did the workout after work, since I didn't get up early enough to go this morning.

SUPERSETS: Barbell Squat & One-Arm Dumbell Row
Barbell Squat 105x6
One-Arm Dumbell Row 45x6
3 sets, 2 minutes rest in between each superset

BICEPS:
Barbell Curl 55x6x1, 2 min rest
Incline Dumbbell Curl 20x6x1, 2 min rest
Dumbbell Alternating Bicep Curl 25x6x1

Starting weight is 132.6 - didn't take measurements. I'm going to judge my progress this time by the mirror and the clothing fit. I have photos I did last weekend, and since last week was an off week, I can use them as before photos for this run. Since I'm taking pics for the TL transformation I"ll post them up in here as well, so all my BPEEPS® can cheer me on/scoff at me/request n00dz and whatever else y'all are gonna type in here.

Already excited for famine to be overwith so I can start the meltdown training program and eat, lol. Like I said when I started up before I got sick, I'm going to try this like the big boys and do my calories at 8x bodyweight instead of the leeway Rob gave me last run. So instead of 1200, I'll be eating ~1064 cals per day, 30g or less of protein. Here's how I did today:

1035 cals; 127g carbs, 27g fat, 24g protein. Macros are 67c/24f/9p.

Only supps from now until Saturday are multi/joint, fish oil, D, calcium, and lysine (to keep cold sores away during the decreased calorie/meat period).

Will post starting pictures below.

Here are my most recent pics. Paper date is 3/21. Took a rest week in between those pics and the start of famine so I look the same. It will be a good batch of comparison pics.

Haha I had those bangs a bunch of years ago and could never explain to a hairdresser how to do it again... someone finally got it right lol.

I'm 5'4

if/when I finally make it to 132 it should be interesting to compared (Im 5'4.5" lol)

I am very excited for that day. I think you could do it by the end of your current BP run.

Football practices are starting soon and thats when wrenches get thrown into my plans, but for the moment I seem to be mostly on track (sitting just under 142lbs...). Gonna have to start pumping the BCAA's and such like mad to help recovery.

My deadlift workout yesterday is starting to make my back/hamstring/traps DOMS kick in hard...... first practice is tonight.... shoot me now hahah (180lbs x 13reps on 3rd set)

I hope to be at 132 before the beginning of May, for sure. Aiming for 128 by early May, actually.

I'm being a total overtraining idiot and startinb both 12 mile bike rides 5x a week AND couch to 5k 3 days a week, during my BP run. I will have 0 rest days for at least 8 weeks. Should be interesting. Thanks to Rob at least I have The Formula on my side.

You ladies lost me with the "bangs" talk...
