Have you done your homework, i.e. read all the sticky's here and the dogg log on muscle mayhem and cfp.

Best days to lift are Tues, Thurs, Sat

that's fine.

I dorm and the school gym is ok..but the incline benches suck...

Do you have enough exercises to do this program.

**XxNyCgQxX** · 10-20-2004, 02:17 PM

yea...the gym server the purpose..has all major machines and I can do any freeweight exercise...just with inclines..which unfortunately is my weakpoint..the bench's incline is really high..so it hurts the shoulder a little..but i'll deal with it.

**XxNyCgQxX** · 10-20-2004, 08:06 PM

ok..so let's see if i constructed this correctly:

Tues:
Chest - Incline BenchPress - 315x6-8 - 315x3-4 - 315x2-3
Shoulders - Smyth Military Press - 180x6-8 - 180x3-4 - 180x1-2
Triceps - Dips Between Benches - 180x10-12 - 180x6-8 - 180x3-4
Back - Lat Pulldowns - 200x10-12 - 200x6-8 - 200x4-6
Deadlifts - 350x10-12 - 350x6-8 - 350x4-6

So is this what it's supposed to be like? Just want to make sure before i go on.

Thurs would be bis, forearms and legs then saturday i'd repeat but with different exercise for the muscles.

Pretty much. I dont like the rest pausing for deads but thats me.

You don't really shoot for a rep range on your mini sets. What I mean is, OK say for chest you're doing 11-15RP. Say you pick a weight that you can do maybe 8 with for your first mini set. You do as many reps as you possibly can with that weight adn finish on the negative. Have your partner re-rack, take your 15 deep breaths and do the same thing, getting as many reps as you can, don't just stop at 3-4 on the second mini set, it looks like you have it set up that way. You just do as many as possible (It USUALLY ends up being 3-4, but not always), finish on the negative, re-rack, 15 more deep breaths and do the third mini set. Sometimes for the 11-15RP range you may get 8+4+2 = 14RP, or you may get 10+3+1 or something like that. It varies.

**USMuscle9403** · 10-20-2004, 08:17 PM

Oh yea and don't rest pause deads, we don't want an injury. And for most back thickness movements you go a heavy set of 8, then a slightly heavier set of 4. I strongly recommend you re-read.

**Shawn "Future" Bellon** · 10-20-2004, 08:18 PM

I think he was just being hypothetical with his rep range. I think.

**USMuscle9403** · 10-20-2004, 08:31 PM

I know

Just making sure, though.

**XxNyCgQxX** · 10-20-2004, 08:37 PM

thanks guys...you've helped a lot...i wasn't going for the reps that i named...it was an estimate of what i'd be able to get upon failure.

**USMuscle9403** · 10-20-2004, 08:43 PM

OK we were just making sure. The worst thing we want people doing is doing ther program wrong, then not making many gains and then going somewhere else and saying that DC training is bullshit. That's our worst fear

If you can't do the incline without pain then don't use it, don't take any chances with your body, it's not worth it.

**XxNyCgQxX** · 10-21-2004, 01:27 AM

it's not excruciating pain..it's just not that comfortable..but i'd just go slower and control the rep

**USMuscle9403** · 10-21-2004, 01:27 AM

Shit, I missed that. Good point Egill.
