Question, are you synthetic?
yup...I hit 260 lbs a couple of years ago and didn't budge for a while. I've done a couple of low dose cycles in the past year.

Good to hear the arm is feelin' better.

Just curious... do you find that after a week off, you "feel" a lot smaller, and that your weights have decreased somewhat? Moreso than if you had been doing lower rep 8-10 stuff?

Out of curiosity, where did you get the inspiration for a training style such as this? It is merely a combination of the knowledge you have learned over the years, or is it based on a certain protocol, or combination of protocols? It's interesting to say the least.

well the basic principles behind Doggrap training is nothing new but for me working at such a level of intensity is. going all out for one set is definetly taxing mentally and physically. I also feel for the strength level that I am at it seems to be a good way for me to safely use maximum working loads with out the need for a spotter, since I train alone..

When you do additional repititions via rest-pause, do you include that in your count you post here?

yup...most of the time I can do 75% of my goal reps straight. then rest-pause for the remaining couple or reps. when I first started doing doggcrap I wasn't using creatine, now that I am there's a big difference.

I'm curious how you do your rest-pause sets, LAM. Could you explain them in more detail for me?

Personally, i do a conventional set, wait for a count of ten quick breaths, and then try and crank out another two. On some occasions i repeat, but rarely.

I basically do the same thing. like on Inc BB the other day I got the first 11 reps straight then I waited 15 secs and pumped out the last 4...

my 2 week vacation from the gym is over. I feel great ! I gained some nice mass doing Doggcrap the past couple of months but my endurance is shot. I need to go back to some higher volume training for a while. I think for now I'm going to diet back down to 8% and go from there...

lol...and I thought you were a bookworm !

basically you do 16 minutes of interval training at level "x" on the recumbant bike, etc. and you note the distance that you traveled. then each workout after wards on the same level and for 16 minutes you attempt to beat the distance that you traveled the previous cardio session. increasing your VO2Max, etc..blah..blah..blah..you burn more fat

personally I like it better than HIIT cardio

Do you plan your breaks generally or just take them whenever stuff happens to force you on a break?

If you do plan them, is there a scheme? i.e. longer breaks after a cut shorter after a bulk.. or any such thing.. or does it matter at all?

I don't plan them except when I am going on an actually planned vaction, etc. most of the time they are spur of the momment. I don't sweat the small stuf, the weights will always be there...

What kind of DC training did you do? What did the workout and frequency look like?

Basically I had 2 sets of workouts, 1a and 1b and 2a and 2b. the a workouts were 2 different chest, back, shoulder, tricep workouts and the b were 2 different legs and bicep workouts. I trained on Mon-Wed-Fri. So monday would be 1a, wed would be 2a, friday would be 1b the following monday would be 2b, wed would be 1a, etc. I would hit each body part 2x in a 8 day period.
