Nice work on those PR’s
Happy New year.
I do like how you know what works best for you-
something I am always trying to figure out

Thanks Kevin.
For me it has always been easier/more consistent to get reps in the 80%-95% range than get a new 100% pr.

Hmmm maybe doing DC while on a low carb diet is not a good idea. Will try this for another week and see.
biceps: Spider curl 75x17+8+6= add 5lbs
forearms: Rope curls 90x18+10+6 add 10
calves: seated calves 1 plate for 2x100 need to start easy here due to both calves being torn before
Hamstrings: ghr’s 9+6+4
Quads: squats ATG 405x4/ widowmaker 315x23 — strecthed then hobbled outside and puked. First time puking after lifting in…oh wait since I did DC 5 years ago.
Doms: Arms and chest (still?) nothing in the legs
Thing is I get so sore from doing DC I don’t really feel like doing anything else besides sleeping and eating.
Maybe go back to a periodization routine/ high frequency training at 70-80% of 1rm and start my Prep like I did when I used to fight. Questions for the weekend (over coffee/protein shakes)

I’m going to keep checking in here. I’ve been very interested in DC as a training style as it suits my goals (physique vs strength).
incline press 225x9+4+3
Neutral grip pullups 12+6+4
btn press military 205x10+5+5
close grip smith press 4 board 275x10+6+5
pack pull+shrug 315x3x5…315x10
All reps slow and controlled
I’ve heard that DC is hard when you’re trying to cut weight like that. But I suppose that any program where you’re actively trying to build strength or put on muscle is.
You might have already mentioned it but are you on a specific style of dieting or are you simply cutting out parts of your diet?

First 8 weeks is lower cals. Second 8 week block a carb cyclic. Final 8 weeks are keto wth 2 re-carb days.
Is this a body building routine?

Yes. But as a sidenote you get strong as hell as well. Like a powerbuilding routine.
Dc or Doggcrapp it is known by. intensemuscle dotcom is the main website.
Works great for me.
Interesting seems like that perfect program for both worlds…
reverse curls 75x11+8+7
wrist curls 95x21+11+7
standing calf press 135x25x5
1 leg press 190x6(r)x5(l) 110x12(r) 110x10(l)
leg extensions 150x18+10+6 —110x15+8+5
All reps slow and controlled.
Reverse grip benches in smith 275x8+4+4
samson pulldowns 120x12+8+6
viking press 55x6+6+4
Snatch grip bent over rows in smith 205x11/ widowmaker 135x21
jm press in smith 205x8+6+3 widowmaker 135x19

Liking the DC training. Sometimes I miss that training, did it for about 18 months at one point, actually back when I was having rotator issues that prevented me from real benching. Found I responded very well to that training, got big and lean. And regarding dieting on it, it was a lot easier than say dieting when doing higher volume powerlifting work. I can usually caffeinate myself into doing a few rest pause sets, not so much with a 3 hour ME bench day.
I actually signed up to intense muscle, I am very intrigued by this as well. Strength and size is all Im ever after, I may give it a go maybe a year from now.
used to post there a long long time ago, then they blocked it at my work. think that is around the time I started lurking here
Wow, Fischer. The numbers you put up would be great for a 20something with no injuries. For you to do them with the injuries you’ve had, simply amazing. I aspire…
Thans Pete. I am doing the morning energy work i usually do and with th Dc training now it is only mild soreness. I am just re-habbing more now.
Agree with you on how hellacious a 3hr ME session is while dieting.

Three motto’s I firmy believe in.
those are some strong mottos
and some strong training
How is DC on the joints-
had been lurking on some of the DC threads here but they are always a mess

Actually if DC is done the way it states slow on the negative (3-4 seconds) explode on the concentric very easy on the joints.
Then it depends on your exercises you pick.
Now the stretching just plain hurts…
Couldn’t make it to the gym today-youngest is sick.
Warmed up by shoveling snow.
Biceps: Negative pullups on the rings 10 sec on the drop 5 x 5
Then did kbell swings and front squats with 2 40lbers. Ladder up to 16. So 1 rep of each then 2 reps of each then 3 reps etc. Took 1 break @ 8 then every 2 sets. Breaks were 1 minute long.
Calves were Thai-bounces for 1 minute times for 3 sets.
A Thai-bounce is bounce up and down on your calves in a full atg position-while keeping your hams on your calves and actively heel raiseing trying to get air.
