ACZECH's Main lifts log

[Aztech]

did not again attempt the 365. I was close and i'll get back to it soon, hopefully when i get back on the strength program this DC program will have put my strength on the next bar.

As for competing...I still think i've got a ways to go i terms on one rep max. At a local gym comp, i may do ok...but anything higher and i'll look like a little kid.

ok. how about BB?

 

[Aztech]

ok. how about BB?

I lack the size and dedication for that. I don't have the cleanest diet and nor do I plan too. I tried once for a month and it was painfull. I eat cleanly but do not skip out on fast food or ice cream at the current. We'll see how i progress next year and then I'll be able to decide if this is strictly a stress relieving hobby or something more.

you doing DC now bro?
all that rest pause looks brutal. nice work.

 

[Aztech]

Yeh, DC work is brutal. I leave enough rest to get about half the reps in my 2nd set from the first. I don't do all the extreme stretching that is recommended...i'm still getting used to working all my body parts 2.5 times a week.

On the side note, just got back from a 10 day vacation where no lifting was involved. Lifted last night...maintained all my numbers so the next few workouts should be pretty good. Will post when I post tonight's workout.

9/12: not the greatest session

Still very strong though mang.

 

[Aztech]

i tried reducing that rest/pause time...damn, this shit whips your ass when you really get going. I'm using the DC to bulk a little then i'll go back to my strength training that has worked quite well.

Thanks bro.

[AngryMuscles]

are hack calves any better than them regular seated/standing?

 

[Aztech]

honestly, i don't know...just a different variation really.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I really enjoy a lot of the DC principles. How long have you been doing that style?

 

[Aztech]

Since Aug 17th...not too much time yet. I've been trying the two on - one off approach and i seem to recover fine. I'm still working out my rest-pause phases...i go for the 8-4-2 or 10-5-3...like half the set before. It seems a solid style for bulking, but you really need a workout partner otherwise you'll have to give up a lot of free weights. I use my girlfriend..lol. I like that she can only help up to a point so i know i'm still pushing most the weight. She's not fitness/bb competitor but she moves some good weight for her size. She deads more than alot of the guys out or gym do..lol

 

[ManOfMuscle]

That's awesome that your woman lifts and even more awesome that she deadlifts. Like I said I use a lot of the DC principles but I really pick and choose the ones I want. I think the 2 on 1 off thing would be more volume than I could handle.

 

[Aztech]

IMO...
DC training w/o gear = workout eod
DC while on gear = 2on - 1off

I just now incorporating the extreme stretching techinques. I also finish my last set of each exercise with a static hold.

And yeh, my girl deadlifted 155# for a set of ten last time..not bad for normal girl weighing under 125#. And she's got a pretty face
