Did heavy military presses despite possible whiplash I got in last night's hockey game. Feel fine, but I made sure I kept super strict form.

I need to start working out. I hate doing it by myself though. I should since I'm a little guy and don't want to get my arse kicked while at work. I guess that's why I carry 50,00 volts.

Off for another "scheduled off day" workout....I am gonna really have to take a day off sometime.

King James · 06-11-2009, 10:04 AM

Back/Bis for me today. Tuesday went alright, although on a few tricep lifts had pain in the elbow. Had to stop on skull crushers due to pain, but getting alot better.

Thought I would share I just started on Dogcrapp routine. I've been lifting seriously for the past 6 years. While before it was for sports, now I just want to get as big as possible. I've been doing high volume workouts for most of that time so I figured Dogcrapp would be the best suited for me. Anyone have experience using their methodologies? The founder of the method claims gains of up to 50 lbs of muscle in a year. Here's a site that has all the info on it. http://www.intensemuscle.com

50 pounds of muscle a year? Is that the same program Barry Bonds was on?

I don't know much about them....but I will take a look..

I took a look and this isn't a new revolutionary idea. A lot of this has been around for years. I know you said your background is High Volume workouts so this would be a good fit. My only idea would be if your have been doing high volume for 6 years why not switch your routine to something different, more challenging and new? You would probably see bigger gains, and new changes because your forcing your body to change and adapt instead of just going through the grind?

Thats just me though

King James · 06-11-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm with Dave on changing up the routine. Always good to shock the system. I'm switching to a new one next week actually as I've been on this one for awhile now.

BigFrank · 06-11-2009, 03:07 PM

Gonna go with most here and tell you that 50lbs is total bullshit. Maybe 5 lbs. If your eating your balls off. Specially being natural.
I trained a similar style awhile ago. Only thing I would say is take special care of yourself. Make sure you are getting enough calories and using proper restoration techniques. I responded well to this type of program but after a few weeks my joints etc started getting banged up. Pushing it as hard as you can every week can be rough on your body. I'm not sure if they advocate any type of downtime or deloading but I would recommend. Even despite you experience training. Sometimes for guys that have been in the game a long time doing less and resting more does more than being in the gym everyday and wearing your back side out.

Just my

icehog3 · 06-11-2009, 03:11 PM

Agreed Frank, no way a person is going to put on 50 pounds of muscle in one year. 50 pounds of bodyweight, maybe, but if you could put on 10 pounds of pure muscle in one year I would call that highly successful, even unusual.

GreekGodX · 06-11-2009, 03:48 PM

I don't believe that it can be done without anabolic drugs. Going from 207 to 257 in a year would be a huge adjustment and that to me would be too much. If I could get to 220 that would be great. For as long as my legs don't get any bigger that would be a bonus.

There is a period that you are doing all out lifts and then a period when you back off. Basically once you aren't making any more gains you back off.

I'm finishing the first week of the workouts and it definitely has tired me out. I've needed more sleep and needed to eat more. I'm gonna take some anthropometric measurements so I can track my progress.

I put on about 10lbs of muscle in the first six months I was lifting, ever. That is the only time I would ever expect to see that amount of gains.

GreekGodX · 06-11-2009, 11:07 PM

Well I'm 22 years old so I don't think gaining 13 pounds of muscle to 220lbs would be out of reach, in one year time. All this talk is just motivation
