Felt great to be back in the gym.
I need to go get some new t-shirts as the ones I have from before the blueprint no longer fit. It looks like I am wearing a ten year olds shirt. Gotta say I don't mind buying new clothes due to being hooked on the Blueprint.

Ah yes, what an unfortunate "side effect", huh?
Please do avail yourself to one of each! BOTH are well made, high quality and add 10% to all lifts...

Ah yes, just as I've counseled in the past - it's workout #2 or 3 where it really "hits".
GREAT work!

EXCELLENT!
Now, consider taking just ONE extra rest day. Practice visualizing your new 1RM's not for a single, but for a TRIPLE!
Do this no less than 3x/day, with at least one of those sessions coming prior to bedtime. Let it build into your subconscious mind.
What the mind can conceive, the body WILL achieve!

Thanks for the advice Rob.
I have been using techniques from two different books that talk about exactly what you mentioned. I have been using visualization for many years now.
My Max attempts were not up to par by my standards.
I went into the workout rushed, short on time, hungry and with a lot of things outside of the gym on my mind.
I ended up using my max's from the end of my first run.
Bench= 200
Squat= 250
I am trying not to be disappointed in my last workout, I have learned a few things so that is going to make all future workouts better.

Rob, when would you suggest doing The SCT? I am really trying to fit it in my workout.
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:09 am
by RobRegish
I'd suggest placing your SCT work just prior to the EDT blocks. This is consistent with 3.0's template, which is working oh so well...
ONE EXCEPTION: Static ab crunches. ALWAYS, perform these last. You don't want to pre-fatigue the abs, prior to a big barbell lift like the squat!
Ever see a train wreck in slow motion? That's what your squats will look like...

Another fantastic workout.
I hadn't weighed myself since I finished famine, so I though I would jump on the scale and see what was going on. New weight, 176!!! Up three more pounds and I feel like 150. Appears to be no fat increase which is a bonus.
I have been thinking about trying eat stop eat. I hear some really good things about this way of eating. Perhaps.
