Are you going to log your training here as well?
The reason I ask is I expect to see some significant changes over time in the log book. Would be great to see them as well.

Have you used Dante’s program before?

Awesome. You have enough vector for the cycle?

I have enough Vector to last 5 months. I bought one and then bought four more on the Mrsupps Black Friday sale. I’m still waiting for the other four to arrive though.

 

[pfresh]

Have you used Dante’s program before?

No I have not. I was doing a similar low volume high frequency style of training before this but rest pause is new to me along with the stretches

Rest pause training is hard but very rewarding. Looks like it's time to raise the weight on some of those. You passed the top end rep range on a couple. That's when you add weight. And lower reps.
You will get stupid strong.

For cardio days

Is it okay to be doing the cardio after work in the pm or should I be waking up early and doing fasted morning cardio before work with vector?

I just want to make sure I’m covering all the bases and running this exactly the way I should.

For the sake of sleep, it would be better to do cardio in the morning.

 

[MrKleen73]

For me LISS isn't too bad on sleep it is the more intense stuff that wakes me up and make it hard to sleep if done before bed.

I do any form of exercise in the evening, let me tell ya, I become an insomniac.

Take a nice sleep aid.

I like "Sedation" from Vein Nutrition
The tub lasts forever, and it's great at 1/5th the dose recommended.

3o minutes before wanting to sleep and you can fall asleep.

May have to look into that. I did get red Borneo Kratom from one of the sponsors, to test out when I have pain and insomnia.

Calories are done for the day and I am still hungry. Not from the vector, I always want to eat more than my calories set. This is with eating like a bro. I ate a lot of potatoes and chicken breast post workout. I eat a lot of very basic bro foods every day.

I always eat:
Cottage cheese fat free
0 percent Greek yogurt
Loads of vegetables
Lots of cheese
A wide variety of fruits
Pork, Beef, Chicken

My grocery bill is usually $200 plus a week on food. It’s just my girlfriend and I and she doesn’t eat much.

 

[808shredded]

Late but in. I'm currently on vector, follidrone stack for 8 weeks. Like to see vector alone.

[pfresh]

Sounds like you are building back up from the cut right? Probably not exactly on low carb or anything and at a perfect place to not have a serious swing reaction to the changes. So should be good to go from where you are at but yeah do a pump and load if you don't mind just to satisfy my curiosity and to have one more piece of the puzzle in place to know what was glycogen and water, and what is new muscle.

A note on the stair master. Whenever I use this machine I never hold onto the side railings. I always have my hands in my sweater pockets or behind my back. I don’t like to hold onto the railing as I feel like I am cheating

 

[MrKleen73]

Looking good man!!!!

Isn't that rep range a bit low for shoulders? I thought he recommended no less than 15 as an RP goal for Overhead pressing. Maybe that is for the old fuggers like me... However I thought it was suggested for everyone.

Has been a while since I ran it so can't remember for sure.

Same here, well i put my hands on them for balance some times, but even then i don't apply any weight. I don't hold on to the tread mill either that one is way worse when doing that. People crank the incline up then lean back to the point they are at the same angle as the treadmill and basically not walking at an incline any longer. When holding on to that the belt does the work you just have to move your feet not to fall down....

I was kind of thinking it was a bit low also but I was just going off the article brundel had recommended. I would think that with shoulder press for someone like me (not very strong ) I may want to go for a 20 rep goal because it may become hard to add more weight progressively in the lower rep range. What do you think I should do? Increase rep range to make the goal 20 and drop weight a bit?

It’s actually my favourite form of cardio right now. I used to really enjoy going for jogs but since I hurt my leg the doctor has advised me to stay away from any high impact activities.

How do you like the DC program so far?

 

[pfresh]

How do you like the DC program so far?

I seem to be recovering well from workouts. The stretching really brings the burn, that good burn you get from a higher rep set just before failure. I’m not used to incorporating so many different exercises. So it’s very different waiting so long before doing the same exercise again. Only time will tell how well it works for me but for now I am enjoying my workouts.

On stairmaster I like to go relatively slow and alternate between normal and on my toes with a calf raise on every step.
BLASTS the calves.

Nothing wrong with increased reps a bit.
If you feel like you are able to make progress (every time you train) at this rep range. Fantastic.
If, however, it feels like you are struggling to increase reps and weight then rep range needs to increase and weight reduced.
