TheComeback's Summer Shredder

Get Shredded!
At the cabin for a much needed rest and relaxation. Won't be updating this with anything workout-wise until Monday.

I'm going to try my best to continue eating clean. But the Apple fritters up here are insane...especially when warmed up and softened in the microwave...and even more delicious when pan fried in a little butter.

I'm going to try my best not to eat one!

I'm working on it. By the time I get my son down, I'm worn the hell out. Vacations aren't what they used to be!

Its Monday, the vacation is over, and I am back at it. Didnt gain any weight while I was on vacation, which shocked me. I ate good for the most part but had to give in to the apple fritters. And pizza one night. Other than that I ate good and clean.

Started my cycle today.

Todays workout:
Incline DB Press
WarmUp 70x12
WU 85x10
RP 100x15, 6, 3

Hammer Strength Shoulder Press
WU 90x10
RP 180x10, 9, 5

Smith Machine Close-grip Bench Press
WU 135x12
RP 225x9, 5, 4

Lat Pulldown
WU 140x12
RP 180x12, 8, 7

Row Machine
WU 110x10
RP 160x10, 7, 5

I liked the DC workout a little more today. Still cant wrap my head around doing just 1 chest exercise but my chest did have a nice pump after I was done with it. And I will be working it again Friday. Im still committed to trying it for 3-4 weeks to see how I like it.

Dc is where you do a warm up set, followed by 3 rest pause fail sets?

Sorta, you'll have to read up on it. It's a lot to take in. With calves you just do 1 set of 10 reps. If you do them right, it's hard to finish.

Most other exercises you can do a warm up if you want, don't have to. You do 1 RP set. Do as many as you can, wait 10-15 seconds, do as many as you can a second time, wait again, and then do it a third time. You pick a weight you can normally get for 10 reps.

You don't do the RP for squats, dead lifts, and a couple others.

And then extreme stretching is a big part of it as well.

Weight today was at a low of 225.5lbs.

I decided to stop the straight up DC training, it just isnt for me (dont ream my ass too hard Dannie!). Calves were really the only thing that ever got sore. I love the RP sets, but hate going on and only doing 1 or 2 exercises for a muscle. It just didnt feel right to me, didnt feel like it was working.

Today I went back to a more standard routine...and finally had a nice pump and my muscles were worn out when I left.

Smith Machine Incline Press
135x10
185x10
225RPx10, 10, 6

Smith Machine Wide Grip Press (on a slight incline)
135x25
135x15
135x18

Pec Dec 1 arm
100x10
115x10
130x10
100x10

Tricep V-bar Pushdown
60x10
70x10
80x10

Dip Machine
150x10
150x10
150x10
 
You have not given DC enough time.
Consider yourself crossed out from any podium finish chance you might have had.

Please do carry on with your transformation log though.

I do not accept that. I uncross myself and am again eligible for a podium finish.

If you left the gym after 2 rest pause sets and that muscle group wasn't trashed, you are simply not training with enough intensity.

DC training works, it's been proven and a staple for years now but, yes, it's not the only way to skin a cat.

I believe the geneticly gifted seem to have better progress from a higher volume approach since nutrient repartitioning and recovery are usually superior.

The more normal guys, like myself, tend to progress better with less volume, more frequency and heavier weights.

If you're not seeing changes in your physique monthly though, something isn't lining up.

I appreciate the feedback Montego!

I wanted it to work, and yeah I may have given up on it too soon, but I didn't want to risk continuing with a routine that wasn't working...whether it was due to lack of intensity (and that could very well be it) or it's just wasn't for me. With this contest, I didn't want to be at the halfway mark with a routine that wasn't showing results. I knew when starting it, that it's more for a bulk.

I will get back to it though at some point. I do believe in it and do want to dedicate a good 2 months to it and see what happens. But I want to do that not when I'm restricted to a time frame with a contest.

I don't think I'll win this thing with the lineup, I knew that coming into it. But I want to win it! And Im sure as hell gling to bust my ass to try to prove some folks wrong.

Thanks again man! Follow along if you'd like, I'll take any criticism and feedback you share.

Keep at it TCB.

I've been doing PHUL for just over a year now and been thinking of switching to PPL.

But maybe I'll give DC a go. Just have to read up on the details.

Wow, thank you. I've always respected your comments and opinions on ASF. So that means a lot coming from you.

I'm trying! I had a nice back workout today, strongest I've been in years with the Row. There's no way the gear can be kicking in so soon, all being long esters, but I'm not sure what else to attribute it to. Unless it's from eating cleaner.

Thanks again though! I'll try to make ya proud.
