Veggies back me up. I just can't digest them.

Starting to see differences all around, when i start DC i think that may be the best training style for me. Tomorrow will say it all when i blast legs!

I think my body can't digest raw veggies. And cooked veggies in scarcity.

Even diuretic don't work.

DC should be amazing for you!! A strength based program. Then when you up your volume next run you can hit heavier weights for more sets lol !

That's crazy what are you going to do? Cut out some veggies and add fruit?

Are you sure it's strength based? Lots of the exercises call for 20+ Reps with R/P, I mean the idea is to get stronger too but i do R/P and i usually get 12-15 or so reps. I see this giving HUGEEE gains in terms of lean mass, the time under tension is going to be huge and since heavier weights are used i'm probably gonna be crying after those sets haha

I used to play xbox til it broke. I didnt play it anyway lol everyone else I know does. oh well.

wow 4 days of fruit and vege? ouch.

I think that the higher reps will help you build up the lean mass in muscles which is more-stable?- than if you just constantly train for strength. kinda of like how a sprinter can benefit from longer distance runs. thats just it in my mind though, I have never used DC exactly.

anyways, yeah milk does bloat me too but I dont care so much about the bloat. I am actually cutting down very nicely right now, just gota keep the diet tight... which I havent over the past day lol. cheat day anyone?

so I got a call from the gym today, now I have to set up an interview with some lady in town at another gym to get the job at the one by me. when everyone told me I was just gona get interviewed by the PT at my gym. greatttt. I hope they pay for gas because I drive a wrangler and its gona cost me about 2 hours worth of work just to drive to the dumb interview. somehow I doubt that though lol.

Damn man that blows, i like doing higher reps too on certain exercises to get blood in there and change it up.

So today out of 5 exercises i PR'd 4, by the time i got to the 5th one (hack-squats) i was ANNIHILATED, For rack pulls i actually did a ton better than i thought, rest paused 445 x 4 Reps but they were all from a dead stop instead of the little bounce at the bottom. Face was BLUE doing those but damn i felt good after. Also used low-bar for squats and got 305 x 4!! Low bar is so much easier for me to squat with. I bet if i squatted first i would of had 10+ reps EASY. Calve raises i improved on as well, SLDL's i feel WAY stronger on and my ROM is getting a ton better. Did the entire workout in just about 1 hour. It was HELL but i know for a fact this will get me some amazing results!

[thetinyguy]

Also weight today is 232.7Lbs (+1.2Lbs) Getting leaner and bigger yeahhh buddy!

Sweet man! sounds like you hit it hard. I am still trying to recover. Sucks cause I can't do legs, I still have nerve damage from my sciatic nerve and si joint down my left leg somewhat... it blows. haha. Pre injury I deadlifted 295x32 reps. in 60 seconds. hahaha. used a trap bar though, so a little different then how I had normally deadlifted. I maxed at 525. Last time I tried to dead I couldnt budge 135.

you keep lifting hard so I feel better, haha. I had a decent chest night tonite. got 205x12 on floor bench. which is getting back to where my numbers should be

Crossfit?

That "deadlifted 295x32 reps. in 60 seconds" is just asking for a injury.. when you are focusing on trying to move as fast as possible within a set time window and with that much weight you are bound to loose concentration on your form and start to slip.

Holy **** man i'd be careful lifting that fast but that max is insane! I won't let ya down man

[mattrag]

Cross fit is good to tamper with. Main site programming can be very taxing and many tend to over train. IMO crossfit is more of a sport, like you might not look the best or be the healthiest, but you'll definitely do some things that will turn heads. Like those deads. I might try something like that for fun but not often lol.

Legs!! 9/30/11
Duration: 1 Hour
Mood: Nervous/Determined
Energy: Focused
Other notes: Staying at these weights next week, going to aim for more reps.
Lifts:
Rack Pulls-
405 x 3
445 x 4 R/P *PR*
Barbell Back Squats- Used low bar position and will never go back to high bar!
305 x 4 *PR*
Standing Calve Raises-
240 x 16 R/P *PR*
SLDL's- Full range, go down as far as i can and feel a huge stretch then come back up.
135 x 20 *PR*
155 x 15 *PR*
Machine Hack Squats- Plate loaded machine, feel these through my ENTIRE legs. Used to be REALLY strong on these, working back up to it again. 15+ Reps. Stance is edges of platform. ROM is to parallel.
380 x 30

7 Sets/5 PR's

By the time i got to hack squats i was destroyed, i literally couldn't do any more. This workout was probably the most intense leg session i've had so far. Next week i'm going to aim for 6-10 Reps on Rack pulls/Squats. I want to start getting up to around 12 rep range. I'm soo happy i'm finally in the 300lb squat range, I know that my form will continue to get better and better the more i get used to low bar. Hopefully by the end of the year i'll have a 400Lb squat!

Thanks!

Yeah man i don't play around, those rack pulls were HARD. More so because i didn't bounce out of the bottom, every rep was like the first one which for me is the most difficult. Telling you guys i'm putting Lit-Up/DRIVE to work! Have bulk DAA now for off days so NOW the intensity will begin!

I am a little bummed in the fact that i didn't get high reps, so my strategy with rack pulls were to hold the top of the rep to get some more Time under tension and my face was blue! So i'm gonna try and keep my rep ranges a little higher.

DC is definitely to get BIGGER, but its based off linear strength right? YOu have to either get a PR in weight or in reps or you have to drop the exercise? I think the RP is really a strength based exercise more than a mass one. Though I always think progressive overload will build muscle regardless of the rep count well.. beyond a certain limit. And force exertion is also very important for mass gain. But then again its all about how your genes react, epigenetics, food intake/type, sleep... Hell John Welbourne does like 5 reps max and he is one HUGE dude.... He just said he rests like 20-30s between his singles and doubles.

Good point, i just like the feeling i get from higher reps it's like the burn but with that heavy ass weight! Ronnie Coleman swears by only 10+ reps and i kind of agree with him. Like you said it mostly depends on how your body reacts, guess i gotta try both!
