Yea. All I know is that increasing volume over all usually makes someone bigger. Also, I know that training has to be enjoyable
Do what you like, eat a lot, have fun.

Damn man that sucks! I wish my gym had a trap bar i'd use it a ton instead of doing machine hacksquats.I tried to get the vid of me doing 525 off my cell but the file is like effed up, samsung impressions are POS... lol. I can't wait to get my new phone. but yeah I went up 10 lbs and got it like 2 inches from lock out, and I blacked out from my knees being locked and like dropped the whole effing thing... lmfao gym wasnt happy.

Day 3 of Lit-Up/Drive Notes:
- Noticing some small changes, nothing drastic yet but i am definitely growing.
- Today i'm almost getting a lethargic feeling, maybe from DAA?
- Really sore from Leg day
- Appetite seems to be up a little more
- Strength is up
I've tried those and it felt really awkward for me my gym needs to pick up some new stuff!I had a trap bar welded up for me since I couldn't find one to buy locally. Also to note hack squats can be preformed without a machine and with a barbell.
Yea they take some time getting use to but are a excellent movementI've tried those and it felt really awkward for me my gym needs to pick up some new stuff!
Right here my friend, http://dc-training.blogspot.com/2005/07/this-is-why-to-dc-stretch-extreme.htmlcan one of you guys explain to me the whole fascia stretch deal and all the muscle stretches over all. I understand somewhat but never really had anyone out right explain it and I am interested.
glad your not feeling lethargic anymore man. We have a trap bar but I dont use it. I use a barbell for everyhting including hacks. it really hits your legs good.
I had a nice workout today, and starting to lose pain in my back, I think thanks to my cissus. I might go to a new doc/chiro for my sciata.
I am feeling really good actually, I killed bis, hit traps tris and legs quick too, all with like 0 stim. just a tiny tiny bit. like .05% serving lol.
Dude like I said DC would be my go to workout plan IF i had a spotter lol.Ok so today was an awesome workout! i incorporated rest/pause into my pull-ups and i ended up getting 16 reps as compared to last weeks 7 reps! Also improved a lot on close grip pull downs and i actually FELT my lats contracting which is awesome, even with heavier weight. Lats are looking a lot thicker, i think width will come with time. Also kept the workout to only an hour long which is awesome too, did some posing and my arms are DEFINITELY growing. Very glad i went with shorter sessions, i'm going to start DC training next workout. I need to write it all up but i have a feeling my best gains will be from it!
yeah buddy eat it up just keep it clean and manage the cals as you see fit. How much sleep are you getting? I was running on 5-6 a night all last week. finally slept in today for like 9. Feels so good. yeah I had a good workout today, Im excited for anabeta. I need to do some work on my chest. Oh and my buddy who was my liftin partner for a year and a half, will be grad. marine boot camp on like the 14th, and be home for two week leave I think. were gona have a good ole gym session for good ole times sake, hahaha. I can't wait to see him. and today was my last day of work, because I am a cook as a seasonal resaurant/ice cream place locally. lol. so I am happy.
I can't wait to train legs and squat/dead again, I grow so much all around from those heavy lifts, just frm the GH release and full body work.
Sleep is good at around 8 hours, it was definitely food now i feel better hahathat was a good read
OR a power-rack! I have a feeling this is going to be extremely effective, i wrote up my A1/2/3 B1/2/3 workouts and on paper i see epic progress potential. I literally will be hitting every single angle and more frequently. I'm gonna take a pic of it because i'll be typing for a while! LOLDude like I said DC would be my go to workout plan IF i had a spotter lol.
Good luck man! Have fun GROWING!
Hell yeah man, gonna push myself on everything!Sounds good man! I cant wait to see your progress! Gotta get HUGE!
Until I get my digestive problem all squared away I am going to do a recomp style workout. EDT and statics basically. You'll see tomorrow after I post my workout later on tonight when I finish it.Hell yeah man, gonna push myself on everything!
I tried finding some videos of people doing DC on youtube and people tend to have altered a lot of it. Dante said himself it's 10+ years in the making why would people try and make it better? Everything i have on paper is literally what the basic layout is. I won't use static holds and all that unless i stop seeing progress. My first DC workout will be only 3 exercises but it'll be insane with this rest/pause technique. I still have to post my back workout tomorrow morning but the rest/pause was CRAZY.

Sweet deal man looking forward to it!Until I get my digestive problem all squared away I am going to do a recomp style workout. EDT and statics basically. You'll see tomorrow after I post my workout later on tonight when I finish it.
Just out of curiosity what did you change and why?I do DC, but not exactly on how its supposed to be done. i have changed a few things to benefit my style of lifting, but i keep the backbone of DC
what is ur digestive issue? jw cuz I too am having digestive issues....not absorbing nutrients.....no wonder why i cant get bigger huh!Until I get my digestive problem all squared away I am going to do a recomp style workout.

Must have been some brutal lunges! I just got a call and my training for working at the gym/supp store should start this weeknice bro, I did calf raises, 2 sets of lunges, and 6:30 of bike yesterday, and today it feels like I squated or something... lol. goes to show how tight I still am through the legs. Should have a good session tonite, one of my buddies is gona show to lift with his liftin buddy, I can show em whats up
R1 I am interested as well, thinking about throwing some stuff in my routine too.
Thanks man, good luck to you as well.haha dang man, nice deal! and goodluck with the job, hopefully mine pulls through too... hmm back workout today I think...
oh and the lunges, were with 25s or 35s, for 2 sets of 7(perleg)... so not hardcore at all. probably from not lifting legs in 2 months... hahaha.
I used to do 55s walking lunges... they were killers.
yeah dude freakin burritos! I had a buffalo chicken wrap, grilled chicken piece, and a salad today with some pineapple and corn. plus two cups of milk. yum yum yum.
and yeah, with the 25s it felt like my knees were gona blow off.
I experimented with EDT briefly and didn't care for it too muchUntil I get my digestive problem all squared away I am going to do a recomp style workout. EDT and statics basically. You'll see tomorrow after I post my workout later on tonight when I finish it.
Reps for walking lunges! They are an amazing exercise that you just don't see people doing that oftenhaha dang man, nice deal! and goodluck with the job, hopefully mine pulls through too... hmm back workout today I think...

thats the whole point. the 12 breath logic is straight from DC (at least the article that I saw).lol I can't recover that fast, damn superhuman... 12 breathes? really? hahaha
thats pretty sweet man, definitely a dialed in workout.
I probably missed that part, I just read the part about the stretching, and the sets to get the pump up which I think is the same point as the 12 breath, but I was takin more time between my initial sets and going heavier, gradually getting them closer then drop sets into it. like I did my tbars tonite like this:thats the whole point. the 12 breath logic is straight from DC (at least the article that I saw).
In reply to my DC routine: First off, I NEVER do the exact same thing. for example: If i do flat BB bench on monday, on friday i will do DB incline....etc
Here is an example of a weeks workout
Monday - Barbell Bench - warmup set of 12, warmup set of 10 followed by three sets of 8,5,3 with 12 breaths in between them all. I stretch in between each set and after my final set.
Reverse Grip Flat Bench Same as above
Incline DB Flys Same as above
Skull Crushers first set is 12 reps. second set 10 reps followed by a burnout of two sets of ten reps. stretching after
Squats same as flat bench
Calf Raises 20,15,10 not following DC style. 3 min break in between sets followed by stretching.
Wednesday - T Bar Rows Same as flat bench
EZ Bar Close Grip Curl Same as flat bench
Deadlifts Same as flat bench
Preacher Curl first set of 12, second set of 10 followed by a burnout of two sets
Wide Grip Pullups 2 sets to failure. 4 min rest in between sets
Friday - Incline DB Same as flat bench
Dips Same as flat bench
Sitting Hammer Strength Flys first set of 12, second set of 10, followed my a burnout of two sets
Reverse Grip Sitting Hammer Strength Extensions Same as flat bench
Leg Press 3x6
After I do DC for about 6 weeks, i go to my 4x/week routine to see where my strength really is. Its hard to notice strength gains during DC because you arent really resting in between sets. I like to break from DC every 6 weeks and see where I stand. This routine may not work for everybody, but my body has been responding very very well to it. any questions just post on here.
Seems so, RP, static holds, ME, DE, even EDT for endurance while outputting max effort is needed for sports I'd think.... Hmm... But yea, I get injured a lot too. Last time I was in judo my senior year in HS I had to stop because while practicing sweeps a buddy of mine destroyed my blood vessels in my right shin... I had to keep my leg elevated for weeks because the blood would just pool in my foot....I would think DC would be awesome for mma. then again it depends on fighting style too!
I don't train for sports anymore because I always get hurt and can't play, so I might as well stick with lifting. I was out my whole junior year of track and my whole senior year of football...
thats up there with the freakiest injurys. lol. howd he manage that?Seems so, RP, static holds, ME, DE, even EDT for endurance while outputting max effort is needed for sports I'd think.... Hmm...

having a pinched nerve doesnt feel too good either. I couldn't move for like 5 days til I could walk. lol.
That's awesome looks really solid! I honestly have never tried R/P for higher reps like i have setup in my DC workouts but i'm willing to try it. I think i'll benefit a lot from these 14+ rep sets. This will be the ULTIMATE test to see if TUT really works for me or not. I literally cannot wait to do this workout tomorrow, the fact that it will be so hard makes me want to do it even more. :evil:In reply to my DC routine: First off, I NEVER do the exact same thing. for example: If i do flat BB bench on monday, on friday i will do DB incline....etc
