Physlifter Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Today is the first day of my offseason training. Since my show in June, i've been going at a pace where I can say it's just to maintain, just getting into the gym, trying different things out, but eventually burned out from never taking a break. I took a full 2 weeks off in August and started back up two weeks ago with renewed focus, getting the kinks out of my muscles for soreness, and now I started my approach over the next 12 weeks. I am doing Doggcrapp (DC) training. I have my three upper body, and lower body days labelled below as a start - and as I tinker with how my body feels I will adapt and replace exercises to become stronger and to stimulate more as needed. I expect to have failures, success, shitty training days, great training days, days where i'm in limbo. I will update the log as I do my days and thoughts and feelings and hope you guys go along for the ride. Currently sitting at 225 lbs; 20 lbs up from stage weight. Lost some mass, have fat on me, but look healthy anyway. Time to get large!! A1 CHEST – Smith Chest press SHOULDERS – Smith Shoulder press TRICEPS – Dips BACK WIDTH – Pulldowns BACK THICK – Barbell rows B1 BICEPS – Ez curl FOREARMS – Hammer curl CALVES – db single leg standing calf press HAMS – prone single leg hamstring curl QUADS - squat A2 CHEST – Hammer strength press SHOULDERS – Hammer strength shoulder press TRICEPS – Close grip bench BACK WIDTH – Pull ups BACK THICK - Deadlifts B2 BICEPS – Preacher curls FOREARMS – Reverse curls CALVES – Seated calf press HAMS – Stiff legged deads QUADS – Smith front squats A3 CHEST - Decline Smith flat press SHOULDERS – Arnold press TRICEPS – Skullcrushers BACK WIDTH – Hammer strength pulldown BACK THICK – TBar rows B3 BICEPS – Seated incline dumbbell curl FOREARMS – Cross over hammer curls (pinwheel) CALVES – Standing smith calf press HAMS – Seated hamstring curl QUADS – Leg press 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 So today was my first workout A1 It takes a lot out of you!!! Holy shite! The first two exercises you are going all rawr on trying to lift like a mother@#$#@, but then when I got to dips I couldn't believe how fatigued my triceps were and completing a few sets really went to failure quick (and my definition of failure is when unable to complete a lift with correct form). By the time I got to doing barbell rows I was actually thankful they were just straight sets instead of the rest pause failure set. The stretching hurts...a lot...but it's a good feeling. Today was a success for day 1, and on wednesday I will start my B1 program. Onward and upward! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physlifter Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Today was training B1 Jesus mother @#$*()@#$(*)#@ It seems dramatic but this program is absolutely rotten tough. One exercise per body part doesn't seem so damn bad but when you're doing 3 rest pause sets after a proper warm up your brain begins to degrade and it takes a lot of digging to do it again...and again. I got to the squats, did 3 warm up sets...and I thought no effing way am I going to be able to up the weight for my "widow maker" set Widowmaker - after a few warm up sets, you do a 20 rep set, full ass to grass. I got to 17..the pressure was so bad in my low back I thought I was going to snap in two, so I held racked it out of safety. THEN you do the 1 minute hard stretch..OMFG (wasn't so bad with biceps and forearms)..but it felt like my quads were going to rip off my femur. And that was it!! Then right to hamstrings. The workout itself still took a solid 45 mins to get done but the intensity is just that much more jacked up. So now I know for the next time I come around to exercise B1 I will have to increase my reps to the full 20 if i can. Always a progression, and logged in every detail, including how I felt, what was going through my mind, and ways to improve the next time. And now I wait for soreness..fml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Dipshit Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 DC training is fucking awesome. Did it for 2 months. Weird working out 3 days a week and only one body part per wo. But with its punishment that’s all that’s required that’s for sure. I’ll be following along man. Keep up the good work Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhynoplanet Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice log so far. I like intense training so I think DC is good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Finished off workout B2 last night. The near puke fest continues. I switched up B1 and B2 hams accidentally so last night I did prone hamstring curls instead of stiff legged deads. The near vomit train continued though. Figuring out the first sets of weights are challenging, partly due to a fear of lifting so heavy and hurting myself, but also trying to figure out what's applicable for rep ranges and true failure in positive movement (not cheating movement). It's hard where I don't have a spotter to help me grind out probably a couple of other reps to really hit it, but as I progress onwards I should be able to get something. Now...front squats...blech Even though this was just a plate and a half it was near murder on these legs, but that wasn't even it! The next final set I dropped back down to "Just" a plate, and pumped out my widowmaker 20 rep set. The razor burning and cramping and pain and pressure from that set was so severe it was like being ripped apart inside...couldn't find a position of comfort and while I was doing my intense stretch it made it even worse. Someone tried to talk to me and I was gasping, moaning, couldn't get two words out until I was able to get the blood rush out. It's just remarkable that only one exercise per body part can completely obliterate your muscles that way. I'm really hoping to get some great growth from this!! Now it's just about eating eating eating but staying lean(ish). I got a couple of pairs of pants that if I can't fit them on I have to lean up some so it's motivating to do this without going out of control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 So i've gone through all training days, and restarted at A1 yesterday. I was able to get through the previous record easier and notice considerable increases in strength already, but that may account to the gear i'm on as well. I'm also more confident, less worried about injury and the painful soreness afterwards. Today is just cardio only, tomorrow is workout B1 again. Diet is going well, but not as plentiful as i'd like. There's still a mental block that's not allowing me to get the amount of carbs in I need for fear of getting fat. Granted, i'm still plugging away probably at minimum 3000 cals a day, with 250 g of protein, but I want 300 g of that plus around 300-400 g of carbs. I'll get over it eventually as this is long term, but there's still a strong mental game to this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physlifter Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 238 lbs starting my 3rd rotation of DC training. Gotta say, I love this program. New PRs all the time, and I'm "only" training 3 times a week. New ways of finding strength. It's unfortunate I have no training partner or I feel I could even push harder. If I could critique myself it's that I am not eating enough. Still having a mental block but I'm coming out of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physlifter Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 239 this morning Stronger, bigger, snoring more (wife hates that). Eating more too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 232.4 today. I dropped a ton of water weight. Gonna need to get more control over sodium, estrogen likely from the cycle, whatever else. But new pics make me look even bigger! Nevermind the resting asshole face I have (always). Crazy growth happening now from my training. I wish I could be this big on stage! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Been a bit since an update I completed a few rounds of this and thoroughly felt my nervous system shot to hell. It was at the point I was getting bad anxiety before every gym session, was more sore than usual, and was very restless, so I spent the last week deloading with light exercise for pump and to recharge my brain. So today I restarted my A1 workout, so these were my final rest-pause lifts: Smith Bench: 315 for 6, 2, 1 = 9 Smith Shoulder Press: 205 for 6, 1, 1 = 8 Dips with 55 lbs chain attached for 15 Pulldowns 120 kg for 5, 3, 3 = 11 Barbell row straight sets finished with two sets of 275 x5 Funny thing, my weight has been up and down like a toilet seat - I was 229.4 yesterday morning...i had a bad stressful week with my wife and wasn't eating as much, did a bit more cardio, so may have lost the water and perhaps a bit of fat. But the strength gains are nutso and with all the challenges of this program the results are crazy. I've grown 7/8" on my quads in 6-7 weeks. So now my cold leg size is my previous pumped size. Will see how I go with the second phase now that i'm approaching my major limits before I will likely need exercise swaps. Another 5-6 weeks of gear left before I break for TRT.

Physlifter Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 So after a solid 2 months of training this style, i'm calling it quits for a few weeks to go back to conventional training. Even on the sauce, my body is broke. I can't sleep anymore without waking up every hour or two, my eyes are twitching all day long, generally run down, tired, aching everywhere. Before I would lift i'd get anxiety about beating the log or the stress imposed on my body from it. Essentially, i'm burned out. I was back up in weight to 238.6 yesterday and holding, but even with the training it actually crushed my desire to eat food. So I started this log at 225 lbs and i'm up 13-14 pounds. I consider that a success. Will I do DC again? Absolutely! Doing a normal arm workout last night I could feel a different intensity and strength through movements i've done previously but not on the log, and it felt really raw and powerful. So I know going forward with normal training for a few weeks (maybe until the new year), I will be upping my intensity significantly to what I thought previously. But this shit takes a lot out of you. I recommend it to those who are crazy enough to do something different, and to really stick wtih it for the 6-8 weeks. Some updated pics being all fluffy and stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 In the DC training only 2 exercises per muscle per work out and change that second day wkout -go back to 1st wkout on 3rd workout day is recommended.Mon=Chest-Incline DB + BP--Fri=Hammersmith +Pec Dek--Wed the next week=Mondays wkout.Much more tolerable than 3 exercises.in my humble opinion Most steroid enhanced workouts do not need to be any more intense than without-perhaps an extra rep or set only.The drug takes care of the "extra growth" from Test levels not degrading after a wkout as normal/androgen receptors are enhanced//IGF enhanced /protein synthesis is triggered longer than the 36 hrs of normal/cortisol is reduced so less muscle catabolism--etc-so I say go gently[relatively speaking] into the process and let the roi9ds do their work.No offence meant at all-just a thought.

eazy57 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Interesting. I did full body workouts from about June to the end of October. My avatar pic was at the end of that cycle and workout format. I'm not training one body part per workout, once a week, and I've noticed a different. My body is responding well to the added stimuli of each BP during those workouts, as the week progresses, they feel flatter. I never used to like full body workouts, but I can see their benefit in properly managed micro-cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Dipshit Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 You definitely added some good mass there bro. I love dc training, but yeah it wears you out. I find 2 months on it and the take a reset period for another 2 months of just regular training works well. No one can do dc year round, if you can then you’re a machine but a reset period is where it’s st with this style for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're describing is not DC training then. DC's criteria is strictly structured as written in my first post, and as described in many articles. To do anything else is just not the same program. There's a reason why warnings were given doing it, because CNS overload forces growth to occur, yet it's only sustained for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pump_And_Hump Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 DC is intense,workouts like these would work perfect with slin type of protocol. Would keep your body going and healing quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
