Oliverparsons, bless you for your question.
I know it's confusing. A blessing and a curse. I didn't design it this way, but even for the people who bought it they find it difficult to reverse-engineer/execute. Good for me if you're a pirate, bad for me if you're a paying customer.
I'll clarify it anyway: 1 set of A, 1 set of B, 1 set of C, 1 set of D. Proceed to triceps

Bit confused about Monday of famine, it says on BP there are 2 different supersets to do for your back/legs but theres only 1 listed?
Also on fridays famine workout for biceps do we do 1 set of 5 different bicep exercises or do 5 sets of the 3 we used on monday or what?
thanks

1 superset of legs/back, total of 3 times. To clarify:
Squats with a weight that finds you able to perform 4-6 reps immediately into - Seated cable rows for 4-6 rep range
Rest for 2 min and repeat two more times.
On the arms for workout #3, 5 sets of 5 different exercises (ideally). If you can't swing 5, some duplication is OK. I'll give the template a second look on point #1.

I too had the question about the wednesday workout, whether it was 4 x bench/shoulder press + 4 x incline etc or one of each. Thankfully it was already cleared up. To my understanding, it's 8 - 10 on flat, followed by 8 - 10 on shoulder press, rest, then move onto the other bench type.

Rob, how about doing cardio (HIIT or LISS) during Famine?

I believe this has been covered extensively. Page 27 of the Blueprint 2.0, point #3 is actually on this topic. The recommendation in the book is more specific (But I don't like to put parts of the book on the internet) but basically, it's highly recommended. Check the book for specifics.

LISS is much preferred.
Famine is tough enough...!!!

Hey Rob, figured I might as well post this on the sticky instead of starting a new thread. You've mentioned that we could possibly get away with a 4 day famine instead of 5 days. Just wondering how that changes the workouts...do we now need to compress all 3 famine workouts into 4 days? Or do we just drop the last workout on day 5 (so we'd only be working out days 1 and 3)? Thanks!

No need to compress anything. Simply skip workout #3, and finish out the 5 day famine phase with the diet.

Ahh ok thanks. Was a little confused - thought we dropped day 5 all together (not just the workout). Makes sense now. Thanks!
Still confused. :(

Hi Rob, and all. I am getting ready to start my first run of BP and after reading through all the material, I thought I had a good handle on the workouts for Famine, however, after reading through the posts here, I am confused again. I apologize for asking you to answer the same questions over again, but can you please clarify:
On Monday, I will do Squats/Cable Rows as a superset, rest 2 minutes and then do it again 2 more times.
Then I will do one set of each of the 3 bicep exercises?
On Wednesday, I will do one set of each of the 4 Chest/Shoulder supersets? And then do one set of each of the 4 Tricep excercises?
Is that right?
Thanks in advance!
