Primal diet sounds good for a Recomp (specially if you eat those big chunks of meat with fat and good amount of eggs), just keep in mind that those BP 3.0 workouts will deplete your glycogen really quick and you will need quality starchy carbs specially around your workout (pre workout & post workout meal) Quinoa, oats, honey and sweet potatoes are good options that worked for me

A key element in Recomp will be the caloric zig zag between workout days and non workout days as indicated in BP 3.0.

I am sure you will have a successful first run and have fun with those workouts, specially when intensity (heavier loads with short rest) is increasing

You are right, and BP 3.0 workouts are great but being primal/paleo makes it more difficult with grains and sugars removed from the diet. I do use the formula which helped tremendously last time. Toying with the idea of the Warrior diet along with this but my long days can make this difficult. Essentially I'm lifting at 5am and can be away from home all the way till 10pm for school and such.

3rd Famine workout done today, sucked more than last time. Looking forward to eating normal protein - I feel like my clothes are looser since the beginning of the week.
Great work, making it through Famine man!

Workout 3 is no joke. If you don't believe in God before workout 3, you'll at least feel a LOT closer to him after its over... :)

Feast is going well so far, I'll post up what my workout number 1 looked like later tonight.

Only difference between run 1 and run 2 is I'm using E-Bol this time around. Sticking with the formula and my basics (omegas, joint, multi, etc).

Loving the 3.0 templates, do templates like this exist for 2.0 or periodic? I really want to take on periodic next (yes I'm getting ahead of myself but I wanted to do that on my first run of 3.0 and didn't have the time to put into figuring out everything). This can be taken to PM, any templates/help is always appreciated.

Not in separate template format no, but there's a LOT of great info in the Periodic, in 2.0. PM me for more... :)

Alright, I'm through 3 Feast workouts, feeling good so far. Somewhat split on my decision to try EBol this run, I think I have better results running KA but we'll see at the end of this run where I stand.

Workout 4 was supposed to be today but played hockey a day ago and my legs were still feeling it. Workout 4 coming tomorrow.

You made a SMART move man, taking the extra rest day. Something tells me, you're going to be rewarded. Let's just see about that one... :)

Alright, once again starting to really like the results seen. Awesome comparison is my lifting buddy doesn't follow 3.0, but does the same workouts as me. He hasn't budged a bit. Hes a twig, remnants of back in his long distance cross-country/track days. No intra or post workout drink, plus not eating paleo.

I'm just about another notch in my belt (never used this one before). My fiancee has noticed added muscle mass on me as well (good sign given she sees me everyday and one wouldn't think it would be that obvious). Still haven't taken measurements but weighed around 182 last week. I haven't been there in a long long time. Pulled out my passport picture from March there is a huge difference (215 down to 180's will definitely do that) Gaining strength at the same time! Paleo + 3.0 is kicking ass. Next run I think I'm going to try and do Warrior Diet more strictly on off-days. Given my results this run (I think I ran through famine better this time), I'm going to run a few more 3.0 runs after this. I'm getting married in May, and I MUST have a 6 pack (at least, an 8 pack would be better) by then!

Past week I finished up to workout 6. The EDT blocks of 10-12 reps are absolutely brutal, honestly thought I was going to puke. Not doing a ton of cardio per se in the gym, swapping in skating for my HIIT cardio workouts.

Skated Wednesday night in a game, legs are starting to get back into "skating" shape too. Towards the end of the game there was less burn for sure and legs were moving a hell of a lot better. Another game tonight, lets hope this trend continues.

I'm doing my absolute best on SHR, here and everywhere but - so hard to get people to INVEST just ONE TIME in.... information vs. pills :(

Still, I appreciate those of you that do - and so happy, you're happy... :)

I'll be sure to do that once I finish up cruise for this run. I don't have results in between but measurements from the very start to two cycles past should look pretty damn good.

Workout 10 done today... kind've mixed on it though, mainly squats were a bit of a disaster.

On my 4th set at increased to 315, first rep felt great, second rep I screwed up breathing and let all air out at the bottom... got stuck and spotter didn't know what to do ( :shock: ) so just dropped it. Plenty of excitement for all around at 5:30 in the morning!

We'll see where my squat is after workout #12, I've been stuck around 315 for awhile mainly for the same damn reason (never failed though).

Cruise is going smoothly, I'm not supposed to be drinking "the Formula" during this time correct?

Should have the cruise finished end of next week, will probably continue to do a 5x5 workout for awhile after till I can afford KA again.
