holy crap, you're getting bigger and bigger every time you post new pics. Good job!
I really appreciate it!
My appetite is just starting coming back after being sick, so I don't feel like I'm giving these workouts all I normally can.
For today...
Flat smith bench - 210 x 17
DB military press - 75s x 11
Skullcrushers - 92.5 x 24
Pull-ups - bodyweight + 25lbs x 14
Rack Deadlifts - 315 x 16
I'm sweaty and starving. I am going to go die now. Hopefully I can grab a cheat meal (if someone wants to commandeer an F15 to get some In N' Out to me ASAP, I will be forever greatful) and a shower before I kick the bucket.
Does this program involve only doing 1 set for max reps ??
Kinda. I do 2-3 warmup sets at a very easy weight just to get into the motion and then I have one working set. I won't be doing any real "max reps" as in one-rep maxes for a good while. Ideally, I choose a weight that will cause me to fail after the eighth rep, take a 20 second break, try to get more reps, take another 20 seconds, and try to get more reps. By the 3rd try, I should only be able to get 1-2 reps. Right now though, I'm still trying to figure out the weights, which is why I'm hitting over 17 reps on some sets.
Sorry to get OT, but Ironfist, any word on why I cannot join the site? I have been trying every day since I told you about the problem, I noticed I get a different error everytime. I might try my laptop because my desktop is very weird sometimes. Damn bro, you look huge, I am hoping I can get some more definition and look like that.
IronFist, fist of all, thanks for the compliment. I know that you know your stuff and it's very encouraging to hear that from you.
Thanks to everyone in this thread actually. The positive reinforcement I've gotten from you guys here at 7thgen has helped me stay on track with my diet/training since I started this thread in the middle of my stomach flu/food poisoning nonsense. I went to the doctors and they basically told me to just wait it out. I'm certainly not at 100% with my health right now, but I'm slowly getting better everyday.
As for AE, I got some error message when I tried to register over there. Maybe you could talk to MT and get him to help me out? I'm just gonna lurk over there a bit until he gets stuff working again.
In other news, I'm gonna certainly stick with Doggcrapp for at least a month, but I might end up doing a hybrid version of it because I'm a big fan of high-volume. There's one log I follow at another site where a guy keeps the basic ideas of DC but uses multiple movements for each bodypart per session. That idea appeals to me, but I'm worried about the recovery/overtraining aspect of it as he is far from natural and, besides not having a source for such things, I certainly don't believe I'm ready for such a commitment. Decisions, decisions...

This week I'm introducing one more integral part of DC training - negative that are between 5 and 15 seconds. My warmup sets will use negatives closer to 5 seconds and, for now, the working sets will use negatives closer to 10 seconds. I'll try to build up to 15, but that will certainly take time as I'm not used to it. The only movement I used 15sec negatives on were calf raises.
Dumbbell preacher curls - 35 x 10
Wrist curl - 40 x 8
Seated calves - 115 x 16
Leg curl - 110 x 16
Squat - 224 x 14
Leg extention (instead of "widowmaker" high rep squat set) - 210 x 10, 180 x 10
DC is a great building workout, my buddy did this for about 4 months and went from big to huge. I think in all he gained 13 pounds muscle. If he would take the time to eat right and tone out he would be ripped as hell, right now he 5'7" 185ish. But the guy is still soild as a rock, 400+pound bench, 600+squat.
