Puns are hilarious aren't they?
Shitload has happened lately. I've moved house, got a second job and am now a married man. Hoorah! Been a bit of a crazy year, have kept up my training if not my posting on here. Mostly stuck to 5/3/1 and Lift-Run-Bang programs, with good success. Strength has taken a huge hit with all the goings on over the last few months, and i find i'm burnt out of percentages and strength training, as well as the constant cutting cycle i've been on for as long as i can remember.
So now it's time for something different. Will be doing hypertrophy training to build up some mass now that i'm leaner than i used to be. I've decided to go with DC training since it's one program i've always wanted to try (i had great success with other high intensity programs such as HIT) but never had the chance too with strongman comps/cutting/etc.
Now's the time!
I haven't fucked with Dante's program at all. The only changes i've made relate to his exercise choices. I hate machines and my gym doesn't have a hell of a lot anyway - what we do have is a lot of powerlifting, strongman, and s+c kit like safety squat bar, axels, stones, kegs, a log, deadlifting blocks, bands, and lifting platforms so i'll be using those. I'll also not be paying as much attention to tempo as Dante seems to advocate. Other than that it's standard DC split with CV 3x a week, extreme stretching, and lots of rest-paused fun.
Lets get this train rolling! Looking forward to catching up with old friends on IM, and meeting some new ones!
