Metroba tries out teh MMV3s

It took ma bit to see results from DC type training, wasn't so much a size thing as a strength thing, so it's fine by me. I agree, if your dieting down, short, intense sessions are the way to go. By no means am I an expert, or in the shape you guys are in, but that worked well for me and it seems to make sense. I also didn't do too much cardio either, mostly active recovery HIIT between sets for like 3-5 minutes, wiht an occasional 10 minute session. Log looks great so far bud, keep it up!!

I wish you lived closer easy. I'm a CPT and have been training DC for over a year now. I will never go back to any other training program. For strength and mass, nothing compares.

I've been considering this more and more lately. I tried it about 2 years ago but didnt stick to it and I think I was not doing it right. I will most likely start it up again soon. I just need to read up on it again. I printed the DC training protocol last night. Just need to read it now.

And to all the pics :684:

If you have any questions at all bro, just hit me up and i'd be more than happy to answer them.
 
I'm just a weee bit concerned with injuring myself on the stretches or conversely not stretching hard enough for it to be worthwhile. Its the figuring out just how far I should go that worries me :) I'm too old to take that much of a chance ;)

Easy, have you gone to the site: Intensemuscle.com? That should provide more info.
 
yeah, and i've watched videos, and even corresponded in other forums with Dante. So I can see the form of how it should be done, but want someone watching me while I do it the first few times :D
 
You could video yourself and post it on the site for evaluations.

Well everyone's muscles are different, so how far you should go is up to you. Go by how it feels. For the chest stretch, some people need to lower their arms a LOT and keep them out far from their body, while others have their arms perfectly parallel to the floor and close in towards their body. It's all about what works best for you and how you feel it the most. Just experiment a bit, and when it(muscle) gets painfully stretched, that's how you know you're doing it properly :) If you feel any other sort of pain like joint pain or anything that doesn't feel like a natural stretching of the fascia, then stop.

He also say to hang on a wide grip pull up bar with a wide grip and hng for a minute or 2 with weight. That ish is intense!
 
EasyEJL said:
Also, I noticed that i haven't seen anything of a DC stretch for lats, is there one?
Click to expand...

Yep, just hang from a pull up bar with an overhand grip and use a belt to add some weight as well. I use a 45 personally, i've gone lighter and heavier, but a 45 works well for me. Just hang and let the weight pull on you as much as possible. It will hurt lol. There are a few others, but they are very hard to explain via typing. I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest getting david henry's dvd "xtreme measures" it is fckn awesome AND he has some badass extreme stretches that work soooooooooooo well! Very creative ones at that.
 
Thanks for the tips guys! I will def try out that weighted hang next back workout.
 
Also I have killer chest domsicles from yesterday..I bet its from movn up the weight on the stretch! :head:
 
haha fa sho
 
:type:

bout freakn time!
 
6?! I thought 4 was the maximum recommended dose?! Should I bump up to 5 now? I'd def be up for that :lol:
 
I'm all about effective dosing. I think anything above 5 is completely unnecessary, and 4 is a pretty good dose.

You want slow, quality gains. I've learned my lesson with past hormone use; lots of weight gain in short periods of time is only going to lead to losing it and being pissed off. Bodybuilding is a marathon, and that includes when you're using drugs.

I really don't see there being much of a point in increasing the dosage beyond 5. The delivery system of MMV3 is so much better than V2. You really don't need as much of it.
 
Very good point sir! I'll keep it at 4/day.
 
Started up DC today! I love this! My workout was like 40 mins and was intense! Today was just an introduction into DC. So my weights will take some tweaking as I go.

1. warmed with hip adduction/stretches and scap work
2. EZ bar curls - warmup sets: 50x12, 60x12; working set: 90x9-4-4-3 (rest pause); I will up weight next time.
3. Seated hammer curls - 50x8-4 (r/p)
4. Bicep stetch for about 20 seconds
5. Widowmaker Squats - warmup: 45x12x2, 95x7 (meant to do 6), working: 145x20 (r/p); this was easy and prob could have done 25 or even 30 reps. Will try 155 next time. I know this is weak to a lot of you guys but I just introduced squats back in and it will take some time before these #s shoot up.
6. P/L hack squats - warmup: (just plate #s) 50x12x2, working: 100x20 (r/p); again was too easy. Ill up weight quite a bit next time.
7. Quad stretch - I didnt really feel any stretch from this. I did it exactly like it is shown in the pictures. So :dunno:
8. Ham stretch: SLDL - 95x6 w/10 second hold at bottom.
9. Russian calf raises - this was brutal! But I lovvvved it! My calves are my strongest body part. So I feel like this is just going to make my calves explode! warmup: 45x12, working set: 135x75; stretch each calve for 20 secs, then another set for 45x20...toooo easy! Will try more weight next time for both working and that last 20 rep set.

I really dug this routine and cant wait to try my next workout. I know I'm supposed to do M/W/F but I havent worked in 3 days. So I going to go ahead and do the next workout tomorrow and then the next on Wednesday and then continue the M/W/F. If anybody has any suggestions, please feel free to post em up!
 
Awesome workout minus those EZ Bar curls. I just learned myself that those suck for bicep growth due to the way your hands are angled. Stick to the straight bar for bicep work.

I'd throw some core days every other day, depending on how solid it is (no homo).

well..what intrigued me most about DC is how often you have to go to the gym. I loooove to workout but I've started working 6 days/week and I will be starting up school in about a month. So I will be very limited. I guess I could do some at home core work :dunno:

My right wrist is still fuct up. So I am not doing straight bar. I have been wanting to try drag curls and I here they really blow your bis up. I am also a fan of spider curls. So I'll be using those. So I'm thinking for my 3 bi exercises to alternate with during this phase will be Drag curls, spider curls and incline alt/sup db curls. Whadya think?
 
I'm also considering prolonging this MMv3 run another 4 weeks. Just need to see if I can gather up the cash. Does the AM50 code work anymore IC?
 
Ohh cool youre starting DC, you should be blowing up like a balloon!! Make sure your diet is pretty good, might wanna do a 50/30/20 for DC. Awesome for adding mass + mmv3 = you should see awesome results!!

Thanks man yeah Im pretty excited about it. I'm actually dieting and trying to get a bit of a recomp out of this. I seem to be looking more buff now with only a slight decrease in bf. I've been getting comments on my chest/arm size over the last week. So there is definite size be added here. Right now I'm getting around 120-150g carbs/day w/ about 300g on carb up days. Im getting around 250g protein/day and would like to getting more and I'm trying but getting 50g protein a meal is so damn hard! The remainder of my cals go to fats obviously and good fats. I eat natty peanut and olives/olive oil and get some fats from my Muscle delight and fish oils.
 
You can def do Core at home. Situps, hanging leg raises, planks, spiderman pushups, ab contracting squats.

Make sure you are eating right and getting enough rest. If you don't beat the weight week after week you have to swap out exercises and stuff. SUCKY.

Lookin good bro (homo times a billion)

hahah I love how the whole no homo thing has turned out. Cracks me up. (homo..yes homo)

Those exercises sound crazy! I just looked up spidy pushups and they look killer! I am moving out in a bout a month or so and I will most likely be building my own at home gym. So things should start to get better...and better! :smite:
 
I hear you on the home gym. I want to get one built up when I get home but I'll problably be moving within a month or so of getting back.
