Hey @T3hPwnisher I think Iām going to give FFF a go (although apex predator for famine weeks and normal feast for feast), I was trying to find the sessions in your log but couldnāt. How long did the average session take and how long did the 300 pushups/squats take (also how did you divide them up)? Just trying to get an idea before I jump in. Iāll probably be doing the 5-6 day a week because honestly, Iām enjoying training again after following lots of Jamie Lewis advice.
Hey man, hereās the full playlist
FAMINE
FEAST
I didnāt really have a set approach for the push ups and squats. Whole lot of different approaches for them. These days, I have a pretty simple approach to get in 50 on my weekend mornings: A set of 15 squats-10 push ups, 15-10-20-30. Another is Dan Jonās 2-3-5-10 repeat approach. That gets you 20 each cycle. Thereās also Tabatas, where you squat on the 20s and push up on the 10s. I had some days where Iād just do the 300 squats in a single go. One time, I did that while I waited on my air fryer, haha.
This is getting a bit in the weeds, but after my initial Famine run, I took to making it more in a Giant Set format vs running all the sets in order. It sped it up a little more.

Thanks! I forgot they were on Youtube
Thanks! Iāll play around and see what works for me!
I could see doing that. I was thinking having the main strength work be done by itself and then giant set everything else.
Thanks for the guidance! Iām excited to give it a run

300 pushups
150 squats
Notes:
- Calling off strongman Saturday tomorrow so my side can heal up. I know I canāt just go and do light stuff so better to not go at all
- Going to soak in hot water tonight and so some mobility work to see if that helps

@T3hPwnisher Thanks! I will say Jamie Lewisās stuff is really easy to thrive on because it has some much freedom and fun built into it!
Spent all day yesterday running errands, pressure washing, and just being a useful human for my family. It was all light movement for my back. It feels like 80% today so Iām going to do mobility, some light core work, and daily work to get back to heavy lifting tomorrow. For time line reasons, itāll be day 1 of 5-6 per week feast, 2 weeks of it, and then famine.
The push ups and squats have been done throughout the day in 2 ladders of 10-20-30-40-50
150 done for today. Will get the reason done throughout the day will doing house work for this week.

Feast W1D1
Time: 75mins
Light rolling
4 rounds 30 pushups/squats
Anderson Squat: 245x2x2, 225x2x2 (move safeties up 1 hole), 225x6x2
Wide stance GM: 135x3x6
Pullups: 10,11,10,9,10

GHD: 25x5x10
HLR: 2 rounds then it was hurting my QL
Notes:
- Iāve seen @T3hPwnisher wear his soft belt while warming up with the movements so I copied it. Great idea that was probably what allowed me to lift with no back issues. Also Pwn that was the most āholy fuckā session since building the monolith
- Anderson squats had to go 1 higher because the 1st 4 sets were just too low
- I need to up my calories. That is all (maybe I need a STACK of cookies
- BW work done for the day

Speaking of calories. I used 2 jars of this,
10lbs of chicken quarters, 2 cups of rice, 1 container of chicken stock, 1 can of tomatoes, Greek yogurt, and seasonings to make this
I was on the fence about posting it but it is one of the most amazing things Iāve ate. Itās probably some crime against cultures but hey itās got a good amount of protein

Ya know, I ran famine a bunch of times, and only ran feast once. Iām thinking I realized the same thing, haha. It was intense.

Once I read that the dude experienced brain damage during COVID, things started making sense. I remember commenting on his training log before and thinking that not all the synapses are firing. Iām on ādo not engageā with him at this point. Thereās nothing to win in a conversation with him, and the hero worship makes it that youāre not even talking to HIM: youāre talking to a meme. When he started co-opting the same term of endearment for his wife that I use for my own, I got SUPER sketched out, haha.

Were there any long term effects from any of them?
Did you have any emotional regulation issues on any of them (Iāve heard itās more like male PMS versus true rage)?
AAS- What did you run? What where the actual tangible effects?
Have you used peptides or Sarms to come back from injury? Iāve heard a lot of about this

Yeah I could see that. Iām excited to see how it pans out
That makes a lot of sense. Like you just showed me the man pulling the levers. I gave up too after the āyeah builder bars are greatā thing yesterday
Iād do the same at that point lol
Itās good to see more people getting into training but much like the Dan John guy, itās crazy to see the ego on people who havenāt anything warranting the position of authority they take
