For the first A1 Workout i will not be training back since i just did as of 10/2/11 Every workout after will be normal. Attachments show all exercises and layout rep/set scheme wise. I'm following the bare bones setup of the program, i will not be adding in drop sets or negatives. Literally will be to a T. Warm up sets will not be included as sets, i should have no need to do drop sets considering rest/pause should yield insane pumps for the fascia stretching in which i will hold stretches 45-60 seconds after each set.
 
LOl Dc training - I did that for two years it really teaches intensity. Word of caution from my experience you can only"blast" for so long and have to reduce intensity. I recommend dtraining high intensity for 6 weeks and take a week deload then do volume for 6-8 weeks then repeat. i think this will prevent injuries.


ive got my major injuries training balls out high intensity without taking breaks Once you have an injury its never the same. I hope you stay feeling great in the joints/ligaments/tendons Nick

Oh i plan to back off at first sign of loss of hunger or any odd feelings in my joints. Last thing i want is an injury and i'll definitely be "cruising" right when i feel run down, probably will do 8-12 weeks blast then take 1 week completely off or longer if needed. Thanks for the words! Tomorrow should be a short/killer session!

Good call man~

No injuries, best take a week off so you can avoid taking months/years off training.

3 sets/3 PR's

I didn't do 60 seconds stretching off the first workout because i want to slowly move up there. This workout was so intense i literally almost puked and right now i am absolutely exhausted muscle wise. Pumped up i'm looking HUGE it makes me want to train even harder and more! Body weight is finally moving up so i'll aim for 4200+ calories a day. I should see some epic progress doing DC and just this first workout convinced me, I literally don't want to listen to my MP3 because i like having all 100% of my focus on that 1 set which is fine for me. Next A1 workout should go a lot faster considering now i know my weights.
 
That stretching caused me injuries(or my own ignorance did) I would always try to up the numbers and beat them and I would, even if it started causing the "bad" kind of pain

geez that is a lot of calories. You must have a faster metabolism then myself

Well what happened? I was thinking of just slowly increasing time i stretch with a certain weight until i hit 90 seconds with little/no pain. Then increasing the weight slightly. Would that be a good idea? I seriously do not understand my metabolism, i ate 4600 yesterday and today i'm down 1lb it's unpredictable.

So instead i went to the squat rack and put 1 leg at a time up on the rails and sat down stretching as far as i could, 100x better. I did these all last year until it hurt so it could explain why the other one didn't work that well. Who knows i'll try it again next workout.

ignored pain and kept stretching when it hurt

consider yourself blessed to have a metabolism like that. On the other hand at least i dont have to buy all that food because when I was eating your amount it costs a pretty penny for all thaat food

Id just do what feels good and if its the bad kind of pain cease

I'll just make sure i'm extra careful...

It's not always a good thing like you said it costs a lot for all of the food but today for example i'm not as hungry (more than likely because it's 2 rest days for DC) It's actually starting to get kind of annoying, i'm not sure if you noticed but i haven't been posting that much for the past few days. I feel ****ty for some reason, like a little depressed. Every time this happens i just keep looking up and next thing you know i'm back even stronger but as of right now i'm fighting through some stupid crap.

whatever you do keep that protein up at least 1 gram per lb of bodyweight, yes even when taking a break and 1.5 grams as a generaL RULE BUT CAN BE 1.2 GRams , 1.4 when taking in more carbs

I agree with you man, when i go for cutting i'll switch to a generic training setup like 3 sets per bodypart

If you want to keep dcing , I recommend the three way split for reducing body-fat. I used it for "bulking" as well after i used the two way split for a couple years

you can find the three way split over at Intensemuscle some guys will say you might need to be more advanced for the three way and I think youve got a good base and your strength level shows esp on certain lifts

Holy Graham crackers that is a fricking ton of calories. I get fat just looking at 6,000 calories in a day

I actually hold back on food to keep my stomach in check and sometimes I still end of raiding the fridge at night

This workout was brutal, i pushed myself on squats and SLDL's probably the hardest ever for this workout. I'm noticing a HUGE improvement in my pumps from the extra calories and carbs as well. As i sit here right now my bi's are pumped and when i flex them they actually burn. I now take Pure Karbolyn (1.5 Scoops) PWO along with my Insane shake (lol) and i feel it's helping a TON! Also i got my first paycheck from the gym feelsawesomeman. :D

Thanks John! Honestly just having you here (no homo) is great because your a motivational freight train man. I had one of the best workouts today i had a smile on my face the entire time and felt extremely confident. I'm feeling better than ever right now, i keep watching Ronnie Coleman The Unbelievable and that motivates the crap out of me to keep eating all this food and keeping a positive attitude. The more RC videos i watch the more i enjoy his personality and confidence towards training.
