Felt better today. I think the extra rest helped me for sure. Thanks for encouraging me to do it Rob!

OK... I have a question here since I'll soon be doing the last GLP workout.

Given my "newbie" status to weights again (hadn't lifted for a few years prior to starting this run), and how long this feast phase has taken, what do I do next?

1. Cruise phase, then week off, then famine, then GLP 2?
2. GLP 2 right away?
3. week off, then famine, then GLP 2?
4. open to suggestions...

If you're running The Blueprint Periodic, take one week off and proceed to GLP2 with your new 1RM. This is highly recommended if you're a hardgainer, looking for lots of muscle/power and overall attain "hoss" status quickly.

Ask Prototyp3 over at nolinksplease.com. Probably the best example to date. Bulked up, leaned out and got a lot stronger in the process. Textbook run....

Right here to assist in the event you need anything!

OK, so skip cruise and famine?

Yes, if the BP Periodic is to be run you proceed directly to the next loading pattern (after a 1 week mental/physical break).

You're going to LOVE what this baby does for you and I'm so happy more are running it now.

NICE!

Looking forward to it! Hoping for some recomp through this process too.

This is going to be fun

So looking forward to helping you man. I love it when guys blow up like this. Fond memories of when I did it myself. And I'll be right here to help you avoid the mistakes I made.

So happy for you..

Awesome man! Sounds like I'm on the right track then!

Regarding supps, should I continue KA? (off week & GLP 2?)

Also, should I add these supps?
- creatine mono or Xpand
- Lipodrene (with ephedra) for recomp
- ZMA

Thanks Rob!

Off week is no supps. Yes on continuing the KA.

The others are solid additions. Do get clearance from a doc on all of these, particularly the pre-workout compound...

REAL HAPPY with new max on bench! up from 245- that's a 25lb increase in 6 workouts!

I plan on updating stats and measurements, versus the beginning, after I finish my lower body workout.

WOW! That's fantastic.

Soooo happy for you. Looking forward to your final review!!

THanks Rob. I do the leg max tomorrow.

Is it ok to do cardio during my week off (prior to going into GLP 2)? Or should it be complete rest?
