so, the first day of famine my diet consisted of mainly fruits, veggies, nuts, and that v8 low sodium stuff. then when i hit the gym i did 1 set each for the leg presses, t-bar, seated cable rows, chinups. when i was suppose to do 3 sets each (my bad), but i did put a lot of weight on it. do i have to start all over again? or repeat what i did the next day? or just proceed with the blueprint??? i really want to get this right so help me out here

that's personal choice. you can always just wait 2 days and restart, or keep going and up your intensity.
the key is the substrate depletion. If you don't feel like crap when working out in a couple days, something is wrong

I'd say just keep moving forward man.. if at the end of the famine you aint where you should be, just extend it a day or 2... dont worry to much about it bro, it's not even that big adeal, and easy fix if need be.. good luck bro!!

Dont worry about this, just make sure you escalate intensity..the point here is to send your body into a state of alarm. Keep an eye on your resting heart rate, and if youre using multi stix .. once you start peeing protein and your rhr goes up it wont mater how thisa 1st workout went

Precisely! It's how you finish famine - not how you start it...
ok new questions.

alright this is my 4th day in famine. my 2nd workout, yesterday, drained me out completely. today i bought these pH sticks and it was saying its in the "ideal" range. is that good or bad? and how am i suppose to be feeling? ive lost 6lbs so far. im feeling pretty normal jus hungry all the time. ive limited my calories by 8x my bodyweight..any suggestions would be helpful

The fact your pH is normal is good. The fact you've lost 6lbs already... wow. That's a lot. So we know for sure homeostasis is being disrupted.
You may not need workout #3 the way you're going. If any of these is present when you wake up on day 5, you get a waiver on the workout that day (just eat the normal famine diet):
1) RHR is elevated 8 beats per minute over baseline
2.) You've lost 1/lb day or more
Sounds like you're already there. I'll leave workout 3 up to you but heed this advice: HEALTH FIRST!
If you at all feel off, sick or just not right - discontinue. Your call but sounds to me like you're already there!
Great work!
