Go to intensemuscle.com

yes, that's a piece of it. Intensemuscle.com has stickies at the top of the DoggPound forum (and Puppy Pound forum too). Read everything you can. Copy and paste stuff into a word doc if you need to (I did) do you can have it all in one place and read it again. Organize it so it makes sense and read it again.

I hope you are quite an advanced trainer if you're going to be starting DC training.

Agree 100% i tried it for a short while and it is intense!!! I don't train for size anymore otherwise i would be doing that but be mentally ready for it! It's going to kick your ass

I quickly over trained using DC training even while on the bean. Not going to work well for everyone. For me it was counter productive. Everyone is different though. Just my .02.

DC is meant for very advanced lifters! If you do not have a good couple years in the trenches under your belt then don't even try it. It is not only a way to train. True DC is a lifestyle. He tells you how to eat, train, and do cardio... This is not for everyone! But because i say this i guarantee most will want to do it more now.

works very well, but is easy to overtrain. Listen to your body. DC recommends 4 weeks "on", then a two week "off" cruising. good idea

DC is very individual. Some guys can blast (be "on") for 8-10-12 weeks. I can never usually get past 6 weeks. A day off every 3 weeks or so can help to prolong a blast too.

If you do DC correctly...I think it's pretty much impossible to overtrain.

The problem is way too many people don't do DC properly. They mess with it and add in more volume (usually the biggest offender), or something else. They "change" DC too much and what they're doing can no longer be called "DC Training", but they call it that then tell everyone what's wrong with "DC Training".

If they showed exactly what their routine was to Dante himself, chances are he'd tell them it's not DC Training. It happens all the time.

YOU are obviously not ready for DC. lol

I've read up on it, and it makes no sense. I MUST be missing something because I don't see how 1 exercise per bodypart can be so intense.

No worries. You're not there yet. I did the same thing several years ago. I revisited it a year or so ago and re-read everything 4 or 5 times, plus was in a place with my training where I knew one all out, balls to the wall, most fully intense rest-pause set you've ever tried to attempt in your life would be completely adequate to spur growth.

There's something about getting 16 reps with a weight you fail with at 8 reps. I am finishing up my current blast on Wednesday and then cruising for 12 days. I took a Friday off in the middle of this blast and without doing that I never would have made it 8 weeks. I think I will be taking a day off in the middle of every blast.

My last cruise I took a whole week off and then did a week of the three way split all straight setted. For this cruise I am going to keep my calories the same (high as fuck lol) just like I was blasting, but I will only be doing cardio. Have you tried anything similar to this while on a cruise?

 

[timtim]

the stretches are great. the routine is different for everyone.

With my metabolism, I really don't have to worry much about cardio. I take my dogs for a walk every day around the neighborhood at a pretty brisk pace. Depending on the route I take, there can be one or two small hills, or a couple of huge hills. The walk usually takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes. That is my cardio! That and the high amount of protein I consume (giving me a great thermogenic effect), pretty much eliminates my need for much, if any cardio. If I wanted to get down to 4-5%, I could do 95% of it through diet.

My cruises are usually a week off completely, then 2 weeks at about 60-70% of the weight with a little extra volume (one or two more sets). Then I'm psyched for my blast again.
