So i have been cleared by my nuerologist to run the blueprint. So I will be starting the famine on monday and then i will be getting ready for some huge gains. The only problem is that the gym at my university doesn't have a squat rack or anyting they only have a universal machine that oyu can try and do squats with but i'm not sure if that would work.
At this moment my stats are this:
Bodyweight: 199lbs
Body fat pergentage is probably 22%( JUST A GUESS)
so if i'm missing anything can you let me know please
thanks guys, and damn i am stoked for this i've been waiting for this since september!!!

perfect it'll be nice to watch a fellow canadian run through the blueprint at the same time.
Rob,
Is it possible to do the blueprint without being able to do squats?

Absolutely.
You are limited only by your (and my) imagination. Given I also have multiple personality disorder, you can multiply that by 3.
Here are some excellent alternatives:
1.) Hip belt squats
2.) 1 legged DB squats with one leg up on a bench, holding 2 DB's
3.) Leg Sled
4.) BB on you back, stepping up onto, then down off of a bench
5.) Same as #4 but but w/DB's
The Soviets did TONS of these to build their legs. If you study Vasiliy Alekseyev and others former Eastern Bloc greats, it leaves clues

There, that was just Rob. I heard Mix knows even more?
Dunno..

Ok perfect, i'll try one of those but i'm thinking i'm just going to go get a different membership at another gym, it doesn't hurt to have three places to workout. I can't wait to start this week

took today off of weights because i am still sore from mondays workout. Instead i rocked out three miles of HIIT training and loved every minute of it, i may have just fallen in love with cardio again haha. I am also down to about 189 lbs and i am now beginning to see definition in my muscles. hopefully i'll catch traction soon in my workouts and i'll start a solid recomp. i'm stoked on the fact that a little over a year ago i weighed 250lbs and i am now down to 189lbs and still trucking!!!

Today is day 2 of famine sor far it's not so bad. My resting heart rate is 200lbs and my resting heart rate is 60bpm. i'm getting pretty stoked to run the next part as i went and bought a different membership to a gym that actually has a squat rack and other free weight benches not those silly cns machines.
