Hi all. After recently coming upon DC's training principles I have come to love training like this as it isn't that much different to my prior 27 years of Heavy Duty. The one query I have concerns the 2-week down time... I assume that involves sub-failure workouts holding back 1-2 reps? That would make sense after killing myself for 4 weeks straight on rest-pause. :iagree:

All exercises straight sets of 15 reps for the worksets and play around with new exercises you may want to add into the new blast.
Enjoy the program... -
I usually cut back to about 80% of the weights I was handling while blasting. I know my joints take a beating and need this rest. Some guys can push it a little more but I have found that I lose no strength by cutting back this much. Usually once back to blasting I am back where I was before within a week.I do not condone the use of anabolic steroids or any illegal drug, any information discussed is for educational purposes only.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice. Having read and re-read Doggcrapp's info over and over till it sunk in, I know feel I have all the pieces put together to make some extra gains for the remainder of this year. Having been stuck at 220# for quite a while now--and with 250# being my ultimate goal [being on the small-boned side and coming from a literal skeleton background] I believe DC's system can take me all the way! Thanks again guys.No-one trains HARDER!!Comment
