Well i'm back, had an injury, that set me back a few weeks, so i had a couple of weeks getting back up to speed and now its time for my attempt at the BP.
Im starting first thing in the morning, 1600 calories for 5 days, that will be absolute hell especially after bulking
no protein where possible.
Im going to follow the standard depletion, feast bridge workouts followed by 6 weeks of GVT then the standard 5x5 workout to finish.
Very interested how this will work out, i'm interesting in cutting/leaning up rather than getting bigger.
I'll be back tommorow with days work!

Enjoy your famine!
And with your remaining calories, take a huge glass of warmed milk right before bed, it will help with your sleep.

Are you doing the 3 famine workouts in 3 days?
Usually, you are suppose to do the workouts on day 1, 3 and 5. The third workout on day 5 is not mandatory, depending on your mood, rest heart rate, body weight decrease, etc.

Day 4, you are almost there. Keep it up and don't give into temptaion. I just finished a famine phase 2 weeks ago and I was really craving protein, any meat would do.
