It was actually part of the program that I had the day off but yes you are right, I think it might have been my body telling me to just take a step back for a bit to rest.

Diet: Total calories: 2815 Protein: 246.29 Carbs: 55.17 Fats: 182.07 Overall feeling: I was surprised to discover that once again upon awakening I was not sore anywhere from the workout from the previous day. I know that soreness is not a total reason/indicator ...

I was wondering that myself Rob. I am currently ingesting 18X my bodyweight in calories but I am toying with the idea of 20X on the 2 days prior to my GLP1 lift workouts. A part of me also feels that some of the overall lack of energy could be from this new type of training that has been an overall ...

Update: Jan 10/2016: Training: GLP1 workout #2 for benchpress and deadlift. Ok. So, this day was interesting compared to last weeks run of workout #1 of GLP1. I woke up feeling like I was still lacking energy and just unmotivated. Despite having rested the previous 2 days and changing my diet to hi...

Update: Jan 7/2016 Training: The giant superset circuit prescribed in the blueprint. I have never done anything like this, at least not in recent memory (ex: 10 years.) Although Rob recommends to do this workout on machines I don't have the luxury of a commercial gym at my disposal. In fact I work o...

Thanks Rob. As for myself, I am not completely sure but I think I have more endo type traits. I took a brief online test that gave me a general idea of what somatype I have and it said meso-endo whatever that really means. I have a very wide frame even at a low bodyfat and its not uncommon for peopl...

That was exactly what I was thinking Rob . Next time some heavier weights are in order.

As for the step ups, once again I agree. These things in and of themselves are a test in strength and conditioning all their own.

UPDATE: Jan 5th/2016 Training: EDT blocks using weighted dips, and cable pulls then free weight front squats and Russian dumbbell step ups. I'm not really sure what my goals should be for this routine as I have never done anything like it before but I did manage to get 10 reps for ALL of my sets wit...

I only manage to get around 8 hours or a little under each night due to a busy little girl keeping me on my toes but so long as it is consis...
