I had my third upper body workout of feast today. I was supposed to lift in yesterday but it just wasn't a good day and I felt an extra rest day was needed. I was pretty disappointed with my performance though. I'm not sure what I need to tweak but somethings gotta give. Need to pull my head outta m...

Just did my second lower body workout of feast. Wasn't too bad. I went in there not expecting to walk out. Workout Squats-275x3(Got myself psyched up for 6 but my lower back just wasn't able to take it. I got 3 full reps and my 4th and 5th were partials.) RDL-225x10 (felt very very light. If I would...

Alright I'll change that next workout. After looking at the numbers I decided not to be too frustrated about the weight i lost this week. Looking at the numbers it seems it was just pure fat, and after my workout today, my strength had gone up, leading me to believe the rest of the weight was just w...

Ah yes, this is the GABA flushing effect. It means it's crossing the blood/brain barrier and working! Unpleasant if you're not accustomed to it. I've grown to love it! If in doubt on the workout... take the rest day. It will only benefit you :) Ha, good to hear that it's not just me. I was freaking...

This morning I weighed in at 164 and 15% :x . Was at about 2700 calories yesterday and still lost 2lbs. Today is supposed to be my upper body workout #2 but I'm not sure if it'll happen. My upper body is still really sore from tuesday's workout. But I'll see how I'm feeling after batting practice to...

Yeah your work capacity will pick up quick. For me, it hits workout 2 or 3. Like somebody stuck an air hose in me :) Feels awesome. Hopefully you'll feel the same soon. Good to hear on the Gamma GH. It DOES put you into a very deep, relaxing sleep. And vivid dreams at that. Hopefully good ones! I l...

Great work! The hard part is OVER. Now, it's time to reap the BIG rewards!! No worries on the RHR. You did lose more than is "normal" during Famine but the 1lb/day guideline is just that... a "norm". Train to Gainseville leaves first day of Feast!! Oh man you have no idea how mu...

Morning BP. Well I got through famine :D . When I weighed this morning, I was at 161 even, which is a ~7 pound loss from famine. But I do have a concern. When I took my RHR this morning it was only 4 beats above my baseline. Could this be my body adapting too famine? Friday and Saturday felt like wa...

Excellent. Have a surf and turf lunch planned on sunday. Is it bad that I can't put how excited I am into words? Famine got suprisingly easy around day 3. It's not too bad right now. A majority of the weight of lost has actually been fat too. My muscles still feel full. In other news, My kre-anaboly...

Thanks Rob. I don't know how to even repay you for all the help. I haven't done any overhead pressing, just in case it actually did. I can't wait to start again! Weighed in this morning at 162.8 which is about a 4lb loss I think. I took my RHR thrice this morning. Two were 52, and one was 48. My bas...

Just got done training. It was quite a bit tougher than day 1 :P . During bench I literally felt every pound when I was bringing it down. It didn't feel like lifting a piece of paper off my chest today. Anyways my workout went as follows: Flat BB Bench 135x4 135x4 135x6 Side Lateral Raise 20x6 25x6 ...
