Jon gives it away on his website. That said, I bought it too.

and (this is addressed to the OP) remember, the best way to lean out is with amphetamines. lost 15 pounds during my first two weeks on an Adderall script written by my senile ex-psychiatrist (i later figured out i didn’t need the adderall). since then, i’ve been gaining weight and it’s been going pretty well.
only half-joking about that first part 
Nothing to do with the fact it’s really, really, really hard then?
Disclaimer: I’ve never tried it myself, nor do I have the book.
Nah. In truth, I’d rate BtM (at least, the way I ran it) and Deep Water as more difficult.
Super Squats is fantastic for learning about how to be obsessed with your training and nutrition, because if only get 19 squats instead of 20 you’ll spend the next 47 hours thinking about what a failure you are, and similar if you don’t get through your gallon of milk for the day. But Super Squats never made me want to quit, and I think that’s because it’s still just 1 set. I’d get super bad anxiety and everything, but once I was under the bar it was like “alright, just gotta get through this”. Falling onto the floor after set 7 of squats and knowing I still had 3 more to go was just awful, and setting up under the bar again took some doing.

Know you haven’t tried BBB beefcake but I’m assuming you have done some form of BBB in the past. Did you find it less difficult than BTM?
Yeah. Again, at least based off how I ran BtM. I got the workouts done in under an hour, which basically meant I never stopped moving. BBB is tough with it’s 20 minute limitation, but just doesn’t have as much volume to cram in.
Yeah I saw your thread, you made it look easy lol
Btw, if I recall correctly, I remember seeing in one of those videos that you failed to get a rep in due to your TM being too high. That happened to me yesterday with the last two sets of press, do you think I should just ignore it and see if I manage to get the reps in next workout? I figured getting 48 total reps instead of 50 wouldn’t be a deal breaker.
I stuck with it and, for the most part, made it through. Either stay with it or drop it a little.

I think I can try and stay with it. I guess an option would be to only drop the weight on the last 1-2 set(s) if I wasn’t able to get 10 reps on the previous set. I always over complicate this by talking about dropping the TM but I never think of the fact that I can just drop the weight a bit on the last set if I can’t make it haha
Ok so I was curious to check my weight even though I initially planned on doing it on Sunday. I peed before that and even did calisthenics before that. I weigh 195 lbs. I even weighed my self 6 times cause I thought the scale was buggin. Regardless stll too small imo. Should I keep doing what I’m doing?
Don’t do that. It does nothing except skew the reading.
Yes, presuming you made the improvements that were suggested. Also weigh in properly on Sunday (wake up, use the bathroom, step on scale - that’s it), counting that as this week’s weight/start of next week’s weight, whatever you’re calling it.
You did not gain 10 pounds of combined fat/muscle in two weeks, so don’t get excited or depressed. You have months and months and months to get through. One week is nothing on its own.
What if I really am 195 lbs? I did weight myself a month ago. Whatever i’ll just check again on Sunday
Then you now know what your body comp looks like at 195lbs.
Nice pfp. Diggin the avengers tank top.
For anyone who ever felt like I was ignoring their advice on any thread. I sincerely apologize. Not a good feeling at all.
Thanks. Walmart sells them for $8.

Should I post stuff I’m only doing dumbbells and calisthenics stuff. I haven’t posted ever since the school weightroom closed.

Yeah, post whatever you need for tracking/accountability
It would be nice to see what you’re doing out of the weightroom
