The MrBigPR Show...IT'S FINALLY HERE!

Haha, if only i knew the feeling of anabolics.

The only thing im worried about is i'm strong as it is, but how much more i'll go up in weight.

If you fail with a weight, do you keep adding more exercises until you can do it at desired weight, or move down in weight?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking?
 
For DC and talking to sunny, if you cant do a exercise to failure you have to switch to a different exercise. Do you switch exercise and keep the same weight you tried on the previous one?

One thing I will tell you right now is that if you don't have a partner, the bb presses (especially decline) can be a bitch. Going to failure, then hitting failure on those rest-pauses takes a lot out of you, and sometimes I don't try for one more rep cuz I feel like I'll strangle myself with the bb. And then there's the times when I know I can't finish my rest-pauses without a spot, so I have to find someone who's competent enough to do it, and it's longer than my 12-15 breaths, or they spot me too much and I feel like I didn't get as much out of it... Just something to think about.

I only did incline bb presses cuz it's one of my weakest movements, but I can see why a lot of people do Smith presses instead. I'm just personally not a big fan of Smith machines or Hammers. I like to use bb's and db's as much as possible.

I usually do more DB oriented lifts because they just feel so much more natural to me. My partner isnt experienced at all, so i may move to the smith machine. If i had one of you guys, we would go all out.

you keep the weight somewhat high, while trying to keep a rep range of 8-12/4-6/2-3. the key is to always increase one more rep, or go up in weight used. if you can't do either of these, you're pretty much stagnant on the movement which means growth isn't really going to happen. the key to DC training is constant and consistent progression.

if you can't go up in weight/reps for example on incline bench, you have one more workout to do so. if you still can't, switch out the movement for DB incline, or pullovers, etc. keep in mind, you can (and should) switch back to incline bench when you maxed the next movement out.

dedlifter1 and I appear to be on the same page. :D

Without question, i also prefer to free weight everything. I'm tryin to broaden my perspective on this, but its difficult changing my ways! I just dont feel as much with machines. They do have there benifits im sure.

That is exactly right, i personally shoot for 11-15 reps, or sometimes higher, that was how i was told it. But as far as switching exercises, that is spot on, the thought of losing one of your favorite exercises is supposed to be tremendous motivation to succeed, and i have found that to be true.

Oh, ok. Gotcha. My bad. Sorry, I had to hit the gym, but it looks like Sunny's got ya covered. :thumbsup:
 
Damn MrBig your log is giving me an inferiority complex with the weights you are throwing around. Your kicking some serious ass now that you have a real gym available.
 
:notworthy:

Thanks Silver, appreciate the support. You are the one giving people inferior complex with you still killing things in PCT.
 
Got some PR's today. They are in blue.:banana:
:party:

Incline Press (barbell):225*7, 240*5*3.

I dont know if i did it right, but after 225 for 7 i felt i could do 240 for 5. 240 for 3 was tough, DC is no joke. Please correct me if i shouldnt go up in weight in between resting. Took 12-15 breaths and pressed. The streches are a little weird, but you can def feel the blood rush into your muscles. My partner couldnt do this at the weight he chose, so he did a different exercise. Is this how it goes?

My partner gave me some sh*t about how this is a crappy workout. He was saying "we will problably be done in 25 minutes". 30 minutes into the workout and almost half way through, he was beat. :owned:

Chinups-BW+45*8, BW+60*5, BW+65*2

Deadlifts-435*6275*20
435 for 6 was absolutely awesome. Got it up no problem. Grip was spot on. I was feeling it today. Maybe higher next time? 275 * 20 was a killer. I just wanted to collapse and roll into a ball after these. :pokey:

Shoulder Press- 85*8, 90*5+3.
Feeling it. Still sore from Saturday, hence lower weight. :banghead:

SkullCrushers-155*8, 165*5+2.
The bar feels alot heavier at 165. ALOT heavier.
 
Short intense workouts are usually the best ones. I really have to focus on condensing my workouts more often.

I have to say that my guilty pleasure is over-training. I just like being at the gym... my friends think I am a looney toon because of it.
 
I know what you mean bro, i have to remind myself often. This DC workout style seems to be pretty good so far. Had a real good workout.

I've been toying with the idea of DC training when I decide to bulk again. I just think that the lack of volume would drive me nuts... but hey, if it make me work as hard as it seems like it makes you guys work, there must be something to it.
 
Yea, i actually pulled up 435X6 on Deadlifts with hardly any problems. Was insane. As you move onto other exercises it wears on you though. There is a bit of "extreme stretching" involved, but its nice so far.
 
do you use wraps when you DL? I haven't been... just using chalk these days and my grip strength and forearms have been really benefiting.
 
I dont use straps at all. Just chalk. I ditched my gloves because i wanted my grip strength to be top notch.

yeah, i dont use gloves or anything. As a matter of fact, i just picked up a pair of fat gripz, they make any normal bar about 2in in diameter, really thick. It helps to promote grip strength, and size.
 
looks like you're doing a good rep range per exercise. keep on trucking man. the first 4 days are the hardest - then you get into the groove.
 
Man im gone for 2days i miss all this excitment! Woohoo bro! Them be some very nice workouts and Congratz on the PRs brotha! VERY Nice :)
 
Nice work PR!! I'll be watching your numbers as i am also going to be starting a DC program tomorrow. Reading your log will definitely help with extra motivation.

LOL! I thought the same thing going into it, but those rest-pauses absolutely tax the hell out of you. Good stuff, and congrats on those PR's, bro!!

Yeah, awesome numbers mbpr! I thought the same thing too! On paper i was like "oh, this isnt going to be enough volume for a stud like myself" Then before i even got to back width I was like "mommy!" pathetic. It took me awhile just to get through my day one in a reasonable time frame.
 
Core Workout:

Ab Cable Pulldown
Away from stack
30*57.5
30*65
30*72.5


Hanging Leg Lifts

12 Lb Medicine ball Crunches
Fast pitch*20, Mason twist*20, High ball throws*13. Couldnt finish. Too brutal.

P90X Ab Ripper
It is actually pretty good. I hated it when i first tried it, but it isn't all that bad. I actually almost couldn't complete this. They had some people doing Yoga today, and i caught myself looking at some unique stretches.:hitit:

Its word like these that get me through. :thanks::wave2:
 
Dumbbell Curls-
50*8, 50*6, 55*3. I can curl 55 with perfect form, wasn’t feeling too good in the gym today. Low carbs.

Reverse Barbell Curl-
95*10, 105*6,115*3. My wrists were hurting. Forearms were pumped sick. Is there a forearm stretch for DC?

Leg Press Toe Press-
300*20, 350*20, 400*20.:wiggle:

Lying Leg Curls-
125*15, 140*15, 160*15. Had to put a towel where my balls are, the bench is hard as F*ck.:****you:

Free Squat-
365*9, 225*20(WIDOWMAKER). Shaddow told me the correct way to do widows so I tried it with 225. Wow, these are insane.:261:

5 miles @34 minutes and change. Legs felt like absolute crap. Abs were hurting from core day, which is surprising. Overall no DOMS really to report. Recovery is great.:wave2:
 
Those hanging leg raises are a beeeyatch aren't they. My favorite core exercise. Go workout with Timber and he'll start throwing medicine balls at your abs while you do your reps. People were looking at us like we were looney tunes.

LOL on the towel on the bench comment. Nothing worse than having to stop an exercise because you are smashing your nuts.

Dude, we are Looney Tunes. Didn't hurt that there were 15 hot cardio bunnies facing the lifting floor.

We need to run that sh*t back again soon. Maybe I'll fly out there for a few days and a weekend soon.

You're always welcome bud. I even have a guest bedroom set up now that I don't have that room taken up by a roomate.
 
We need to all get together at one point. I was having a fun time launching the F*ck out of the ball to my workout partner. He ate some leather.
 
Nice work, bro!! Widowmakers are awesome! Those are some big numbers. And I agree with Timber, widows make everything else in life feel a little bit easier!

Those toe presses - how are you doing those? Like, how long in the negatives, how long at the bottom? I've been doing them semi-DC style - 5 second negatives, and 5 second deep stretch at the bottom (DC calls for 15-20 seconds at the bottom :scared:) before raising back up. I can't do nearly as much weight as I used to like that, but my calves are sore for like 4 days afterwards! LOL!
 
I say we resurrect the Doom Crew and have that Doom Crew convention we always talked about... just a bunch of steaks on the BBQ, a ton of weights, some sledgehammers to break ****, and some heavy f*ckin metal.

MrBigPR is a Doom Crew member by default, as he's blowing up terrorists for all of us back home. :rocketwhore:

I'd volunteer NYC as a meeting point, but I don't have anywhere to grill or use sledgehammers...

Totally agree on Big Puerto.
