DTHC Continuing Recomp

[DreamWeaver]

Well I finally am ready to try this supp, I have been hearing mixed reviews but most seem to like it. I guess it's all about how you respond. I have to admit I don't have high hopes as traditionally I do not respond well to this type of product, Prome is an exception.

I will start out with 3 a day for the first 5 days (I am using the older version) like the bottle says and increase to 6 ed and go as high as 8 in the last couple weeks.

Other supps include:
Slim Xtrreme ... decided to give this a try but if it kills my appetite then I will discontue as I don't believe in this method for weight loss. Slight suppression is ok.
Vat Attack ..this stuff is amazing it really does a nice job of narrowing the waste
TD Formestane 100 mg 3 days a week
Eviscerate on chest mostly
DominATP
Pslin Preworkout
AP can't go without this...
Mega dosed Cissus about 10 grams ed

Training will be aimed at chest growth, I have a chest bomb workout that has 2 parts I got from USP
I will be cruising a bit on other body parts as suggested will do slower reps higher reps workouts, concentrating on form rather than heavy weight

What I hope DTHC will do for me is to prevent me from losing power as I am probably going to drop a few pounds. My main goal is to find a supp I can bridge between Prime cycles. If this works well for me then I will look at some of there other products the better they work for me the bigger part they will play in my development.

I am around 236-7 right now hovering between 9-12% bf hard to estimate as I seem to have some loose skin... I'm an old fugger. I stand about 5'11". My arms are about 18.5 inches.

Here's that chest workout if anybody's interested ..

WORKOUT 1

A. 15 degree Decline Bench Press 5 x 5 – 3-2-1 tempo


B. DB Chest Bomb 2 x 8 (each set) – 3-1-1 tempo on each
This mass monster consists of a triple drop-set of chest presses. Start at a 30 degree incline. Perform a set with above parameters. Then, drop the incline to 15 degree incline. Perform another set. Lastly, drop the bench to flat and perform your third and last set of the Chest Bomb!


C1. Cable 1 1/3rd flyes 4 x 12 – 4-2-2 tempo
1 and 1/3 reps are as follows. Lower all the way into the stretch position of the fly with arms fully extended. Begin to lift up 1/3 of the way. Then reverse back down into fully stretched position. Now, bring perform a complete fly, bringing your hands together. This is one rep and allows the majority of time under tension to be placed in the position of the exercises where the most muscle building occurs!
C2. Flat DB Squeeze Press 4 x 10 – 3-3-3 tempo
This a regular DB bench press with one twist…Keep the end of the DB’s touching at all times!



WORKOUT 2
A. Bench Press 10 x 3 – 2-1-1 tempo

B. Dips 4 x 6 – 3-2-1 tempo

C1. 15 degree Decline DB Cable Fly 3 x 8 – 4-2-2 tempo
C2. Towel Pushups 3 x 15 – 2-0-x tempo
Simply place a small towel under each hand. Perform on a floor that allows the
towels to easily slide. Start in a regular pushups position and when you push up off the ground, quickly bring your hands together. It’s a pushups and a fly built into one!

Yah even if this helps me cushion the blow for me it will be a good run. I am going to drop some weight in the next few weeks so I have to factor that in as well. If I can just retain my current strength I would consider that a success.

I have a great awareness of how my body responds so I will have the ability to be quite articulate with my findings and reactions.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it might be a solo DTHC run.

Well it's as close as I get to solo... It's the only anabolic compound unless you count Formestane.

Day 1
Hitt Cardio fasted with AP, BCAA/EAA's plus a couple scoops of xtend 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes moderate.

Some day one impressions of SX ... took 1 pill, was not as strong as I thought but I felt the clean energy, it did not do anything for me performance wise but it did make cardio more pleasant as there was some euphoria. I don't think this is the kind of stim that your going to get a big push in the gym but feeling good is good enough.

There is some very mild appetite suppresson but it does not kill your appetite at all. I ate what I needed to eat at the quantity I needed to eat. I am pleased it did not crush my appetite.

The stim did not last 12 hours more like 6 or 7, I am kind of surprised because I am very sensitive, I did not sleep at all on 1 scoop of jacked am when I first took it. I slept ok last night all be it not as long as I normally would by an hour or two. I did not have trouble going to sleep but did not sleep as long. I am still going to be cautious and take only 1 pill and no jacked for todays workout.

Day 2

Back to the gym after 10 days off there was rust but I still liked how I felt and what I accomplished.

15 degree decline bench 5X5 3-1-1 tempo
Started 10 lbs down from what I finished with before the break and on the fourth set I only got 4, I could have pushed it but I was being cautious as my shoulder was not feeling right still. When I go back after a break it takes a week to get the shoulder going. I will not risk reinjury...

Chest blast started out 5 lbs down on db's I got 8-7-5 which is not good for the first set so I went down 5 more lbs and still did not make it 8-6-5 this is a tough exercise and I was really feeling off without Prime and the rust of coming off a break but the reps were all done with very good form and my chest was taking a beating .. that's what I was there for.

I did much better on the 1 1/3 cable fly db press supersets I only missed one rep at the end. Chest was bombarded and that is just fine.

Wheel of death was not that good I got 4 and 2 they were very good ones but I was thinking more like 7 and 4.

Was great getting back and I'm all tight and sore.

Day 3 of the SX seems to be coming on a bit stronger than the first two days and I am starting to feel the appetite suppression. I am still eating my alotted amount though. It seems that luclyluciano might be right hunger comes from the early exercise on this supp. I guess it's ok if I get hungry when I work out. Anyway more on that later....

Day 3

Short back day 5 sets pullups 5 sets Tbar rows .. remember just cruisning other body parts. I felt really strong my last couple of tbar sets... seemed to go better than the first 3...

I have definitely gotten leaner recently and was surprised to see I was still around 236.5 ... good news, I'm holding my weight. I do actually plan on getting down to around 230 just to see how things look.

During your recomp do you go under maintainence on cals or is it just a shift in the macros?

During your recomp do you go under maintainence on cals or is it just a shift in the macros?

I do all different kinds of things, I start out with a macro cylce and make adjustments as I go along. It may be calorie related or macro related depending on what I feel will be more effective at the time. For intance I may cut calories on a higher carb day from the previous week or make an adjusment changing a high carb day to a medium. Lifestyle still has some input at this stage in the game but I am still very clean eating most of the time. As I get closer to a competition or decide to buckle down lifestyle has not influence. The point is that small adjustments are all that is needed to get rid of unwanted fat and preserve muscle... nutrient partioners really help a lot also.

Very interesting. Im starting to think about a light recomp but not sure how to go about it. I need to do some research first. Good luck on the dth, I ran it once and it was decent for me. I didnt get any aggression or libido changes from it but it did give me really good muscle endurance and clean energy.

A light recomp for me is where I aim to remain at the same weight and slowly burn fat. You can do this on your own without supps but you really need to be precise about your diet. That's where AP and Prime come in handy for recomp. I can burn about 1% bf every 3 to 4 weeks and remain the same weight. It does get slower as you get leaner of course, that's why I am trying now just to shed some weight hoping most will be fat. So this is a heavy recomp.

Day 4

Shoulders and arms

Rear delt flies ss L-lateral raise ss front raise 3 sets of 10-12 3-1-1 tempo
I will be taking some time off overhead lifts too much can be hard on the shoulders

Rope tri extensions tempo 3-2-1 ss tri kickbacks tempo 2-2-1 really held the contractions love this tempo for this with the 2 second hold

Alt db incline curl 3-1-1 tempo ss hammer curls 3-1-1 tempo - this is a good one, simple but effective.

No real updates .. the SX is still going strong. I made the mistake of weighing myself in a decarbed state and was about 5 lbs lighter than a couple days ago. I will weigh in at the propper time next week but if I lose any more than 2 lbs and don't see miracles in the mirror the SX will cease. I seem to be eating enough ... we'll see.

Im hearing good things about SX . . would be nice to see a comparison with ReCreate

Wait till I do my weigh in and analyze my weight loss. It all depends on how much of it is fat.

Are you prepping for a show?

Are you prepping for a show?

No prep doesn't start till early 2010.. I will cut down to around 8% and then do a 12 week lean bulk or mild recomp/bulk and then recomp to around 10% then start my prep. I want to stay lean to let my body adjust to lower body fat and my skin to tighten.. I'm old so...

It's very early yet and I'm only on 3 pills I will go to 6 next week starting Saturday actually.

[oufinny]

Quite interested in how this goes for you DW... going to start DTHC/Prime/AP sometime next week as long as the chest heals up and am curious how you like it compared to Prime. I am hoping this can be the "younger" guys version of the Asteroid stack since I really didn't see a huge amount of the benefits all of you older guys talk about from PF (then again, I am 27 so things are still working just fine!). Great log, looking forward to following it.
