What was your overall impression of DC style training? It looks like something I should try, as if I don't have enough protocols on my to do list already.

no complaints...it's something that I will probably use from now on during any bulking type training cycle..

Why not while cutting/maintaining? You feel that you need the additional nutrients for proper recovery, or something along those lines?

I prefer to use much higher volume and training frequency during a cutting phase. like now I'm going back to a 4-day split with AM & PM training sessions...

Day 1 - Chest AM - Biceps PM
Day 2 - Quads AM - Hamstrings PM
Day 3 - 60 minutes low-intensity cardio
Day 4 - Shoulders AM - Triceps PM
Day 5 - Back Width AM - Back thickness PM (and rear delts)
Day 6 - Max-OT cardio
Day 7 - Repeat cycle

...and I thought I was dedicated. You do some serious shit.

What line of employment are you in, LAM? How can you manage to train twice in one day?

And don't you thiknk splitting back into width and thickness sessions is taking it a bit far? Your biceps are gonna get a helluva hammering.

I just opened up a branch office of a mortgage company with a buddy of mine we both work from home. we don't report to anyone...

for the 2nd Back WO, I only do 1 or 2 exercises. I've alway liked doing high-volume for my back. So I might do 10 working sets in the AM and another 4 working sets in the PM then hit rear delts...

Robboe · 12-13-2004, 03:34 PM

Hey, if it works...

I wish i had that sort of set up for work.

PreMier · 12-20-2004, 04:55 PM

Clean your PM box.

How is training going?

PM box has been cleaned....

training right now is sporadic at best. been to the gym about 6-7 tmes since thanksgiving. things are busy with work (which is good) and I've been doing a lot of traveling. can't wait until the holidays are over and I can hit the gym for a good 3 months straight...

When that time comes, will you be bulking again?

depends...I'm trying to stay lean all year round these days. I'm going to be dieting down for the next couple of months (to around 7%) to get ready for spring time then if I have to make up for some lost LBM I'll have plenty of room to keep myself still in single digit bf numbers and do some bulking...basically I want to have a minumum of 230 lbs of LBM by June...

What are you sitting at currently?

LAM · 12-24-2004, 05:25 AM

not sure I feel kind of light right now, maybe 240-245 @ 11-12%

Robboe · 12-24-2004, 07:00 AM

Yeah, you fatty.

Go get some muscle.

Damn, you have some serious lifting ahead of you then. By my calculations, that is 12 pounds of LBM you need to put on to reach your goal. If anyone can do it, you can.

BoneCrusher · 12-25-2004, 12:05 PM

Merry Christmas Lam. You have probably been more help than anyone else here at IM. When it comes to the real tough questions you always come through. Thanks for being around Lam. Enjoy your season!!

LAM · 01-11-2005, 12:14 AM

Well I finally got my sorry ass in the gym today to do chest. strength has gone down a little but I weighed in at 248 so I haven't lost a lb after taking the past month off. time to get serious....

soxmuscle · 01-11-2005, 12:44 AM

- is the wed. cardio just moderate intensity?

yup, moderate intensity...the cardio on wednesday is basically an active-recovery session for the legs that way I can go home and stretch them real good.

I've changed up some things this time. I'm basically going to be doing 5 reps on all compound lifts and from 8-50 reps on everything else. so there will be some straight sets and one drop set per bp so I hit all my rep ranges each session.

**CowPimp** · 01-15-2005, 10:56 PM

Looks like you have some stubborn calves.

**P-funk** · 01-16-2005, 02:01 PM

LAM · 01-16-2005, 02:45 PM
