A lotta guys do specialised routines like 6-week blasts and 10-day cruises but they're generally trained by DC or IH, I started with 8 weeks blast, two weeks cruise, then it went to 7 weeks, 2 weeks and has stayed around there since. If you feel like you gotta stop earlier, stop earlier, this program borders on overtraining if you don't eat and rest properly so it's best to stop before you burn out (as is sensible).

2.) i have figured out why my diet is lacking. im wasting 3$ a day on coffee. instead, i now use that to buy 2 baegels
in addition, i relize my bf must be aroung 15% so i need around 225 g of protein intake per day. right now, im getting in 250 min. but i think im dehydrated a bit. not good. also, my carb intake is REALLY low. im having multi-vit tablets so no issues there. but i now know what to do: increase carbs (hence the bagels)
3.) my weight has increased from 170 to 175 lbs. this means that over a period of 6 weeks with little cardio, ive managed to go from 165 lbs to 175 lbs. obviously all of this isnt pure muscle. but hey: im getting closer and closer to where i was at 180. the only drawn back to this whole thing is i have developed this slight paunch and i HATE it. i NEVER used to have a 6 pack, but i ALWAYS had a FLAT stomach. this extra paunch is pissing me off! but im gonna be increasing my cardio come next blast. so its all good
anyways, im gonna be putting up a very concise and accurate summary of my gains at the end of the week. to be honest, this is the first time i am sticking to a program for so damn long. mostly i quit @ 2 weeks but i have really impressed myself by WANTING on my own to stick to this program no matter what
thanks guys
