DC Training

[Micker]

Hmm, in that article, the guy mentions how he uses the smith machine for his benching exercises. sounds interesting, just that the article linked sounded like a dam infomercial.

Yes, it serves that purpose, but theres no supercompensation. Its only meant to maintain what you have gained and give your body much needed rest. As a disclaimer, i am NOT IN THE LEAST a DC expert, i just try to give DC the credit it deserves.

I have never heard of anyone cruising for that long although i'm sure some trainees have due to some cause, but play it by ear. Its not a Blast for 10 weeks, cruise for 4 set-in-stone kind of thing.

I shot for an 8 week blast. The first time I lasted 7 weeks, the next time i only went six, then six again. thats just how much i could handle. If you can blast for 10 weeks and you are gaining, keep going by all means!!! but when you start to hit a wall, and you will know, STOP, cruise for 2-3 weeks until you feel fully prepared to give the log book as ass kicking again. That may be 4-5 weeks but if you feel fully recovered after 2 or 3 then GO!!! You have to listen to your body.

Bro you disagreed with what I said in one post and then totally agreed with what i said in your next post. It is a supercompenasation program. and at some point or another you will have to back off and deload for a few weeks before going at it balls to the wall again. I verym much liked the program, but like I said, you gotta tweak it by deloading, which will be different for everyone.

what i meant was it serves the purpose of a break. you are not supercompensating, not deloading, not dual factor. ITs a cruise, a break from going heavy. And i didnt "like totally" agree with you. Yes you stop training to failure, but its not like dual factor. You rest your body and let it heal. You are maintaining during a cruise. Deloading = break (plus other things); Cruise = break.

LOOOOOOOOOL,no offense bro I dont think you quite understand the terms you are describing. You are agreeing with slyder and you're basically contradicting yourself. IF you take a break from going heavy to maintain after a blast or volume phase or wateve... THIS IS CALLED SUPERCOMPENSATING. i dont think you quite understand this term. Also, the way you just described the cruise method is basically exactly wat you are trying to accomplish by DELOADING! I mean when you say "deloading = break (plus other things), and cruise = break" wat exactly are these other things you are so vaguely referring to? No flame intended bro but you ARE blatantly contradicting yourself.

oh. my bad.

but regardless, there is no "tweaking" involved. cruise as dante suggests and you will be fine.

What does he recomend for a cruise? I don't remember that part.

Shit, I wish I didn't have to figure it out on my own when I gave it a run. Thanks 4 the link.

sure. if you decide to go at it again in the future - search the site thoroughly to get a perfect understanding of his protocols. i always see the guys that are changing stuff are not doing as well as others.
