Matt,

Other then being entertaining to watch, did you actually learn anything new from watching the training vid?
If so please discuss!

Trop, what I notice from your dvd, is that your warm up sets are pretty intense.  My warm ups before the rest/pause sets, are just that, warm ups.

I never really thought about it....we just kind of slowly go up in weight. 
Do you stop increasing the weight at a lower percentage of your R/P weight?  Or just do less reps with the warm ups?

I start off with light weight and high reps and end my warm ups with heavier weight and low reps.  But, it's nowhere as intense as u guys.  My intensity is strictly for the rest/pause sets.

"Justin's forehead was bleeding and he said he wasn't sure where it came from. Sometimes people will bleed while lifting very heavy weights due to increases in blood pressure"


Trop - this doesn't concern you?

I'm local to Justin and Steve, I'm hoping to get with Troop to go over a couple of things with my training.  He's a stand up guy and agreed right away, no questions asked, no ego...just a good guy.  As soon as we can coordinate things we'll get together and tweak my chest movements.

I kinda felt like a dork asking but he didn't hesitate to agree.  Just a stand up guy.  I know I can't hang with these guys poundage wise but it'll still be fun to just go over things, there's gotta be something "mechanical" I'm doing wrong and I just can't put my finger on it.

Both Troop and DAnte have never hesitated to help me out when I asked, both are stand up guys in my book.

You're right, natural al.

The only bad thing Justin has ever done is being a Wolverine...

c'mon now, don't go there ;D ;D ;D

I've spoken to him a few times via PM and he's always willing to help, both him and dante.  I asked DAnte a few things and he gave me somethings to try that he usually saves for guys who pay him-or at least that's what I think.  He has no ego what so ever, never asked for a dime from me.  I know I'm not gonna be a monster but I enjoy training using his methods, I'm getting pretty strong and am always progressing so it's fun.  I'm hoping to be pushing a 1000lbs legpress before to long and my smith machine incline is gonna hit 300+ for reps soon so it works.  All I gotta do is bring up some weak points and hopefully everything else will fall into place.  who knows maybe I'll make a "natural DC training video" or something someday. :D :D

"Natural DC training video"... is it that different from general DC training?

On another note, I heard about a sign that used to hang at the old gym on the Ohio State campus (Larkins Hall) that said: "the number one reason not to use steroids: steroids will shrink your buckeyes." :) I don't know when this was, just a little story some alumni told me...

the video thing was a joke....certain people here have a hard on cause I haven't posted any pics :D

I'm interested to see just how strong I'm gonna get.  I'm almost back up to the poundages I was using last year before training had to be put on the back burner so to speak.  I'm trying new movements out and pushing really hard...it should get interesting real quick.  Right now I'm about 205ish which isn't my all time high in BW but it is near the strongest and leanest I've benn in awhile.  Hoepfully if things go well with Troop I'll be able to bring my chest up to where it needs to be.

 Simply Amazing!

 This is a fkn guy who trains like a BEAST greater than anything the writers at Universal Nutrition(ANIMAL line) can ever conure up in a fictional sense.

 Justin. Sir. I was looking for you at the ASC...everytime I went by the ON booth you were nowhere in sight. Did you make it out to Columbus?

I like this DVD a lot.............(it's good to see 2 "regular guys" dressed in t-shirt and sweatpants
VS the spandex clad fanny-bag wearing guys)

just grinding it out/lifting heavy weights with good form

I was thinking the same thing in fact.  But my understanding from the DVD was that Justin wasn't exactly sure what caused the bleeding.  It may have been cut earlier and started bleeding again due to some physical aggravation which broke the skin or may have been due to blood pressure.

Markus Ruhl's nose started bleeding like crazy during one workout and he said it was due to a nasal spray he had overused.  Ryan Kennelly's EYES started bleeding during a lift in Chris Mason's "Road to the Arnold" DVD.  :-X

If it was from a broken blood vessel, it would be from the blood pressure during the lift.  Nothing you can do about that, your blood pressure is going to go up when you're training heavy.
But, with two little kids, and a wife, I do take care of myself with check ups.  I work in a hospital, so I have full access to anything I need.
I get blood work ever 3-6 months (just have to walk over to the lab), and I perform echocardiograms and ECG's on myself from time to time. 

It is my belief that blood pressure is the biggest nemesis to bodybuilders.  Blood pressure is something that can EASILY be controlled, and is likely the cause of many of the problems bbers have, health wise. 
Blood pressure can be controlled easily through diet changes, or medications......if the hypertension causes kidney failure....that cannot be controlled.

I was at the ABB booth (the ON and ABB booths were together) all weekend.  They signed George Farrah, and he was at the ON booth all weekend, so I don't know if the ABB booth work will be permanent or not.   The booths are together at all the shows, just different lines from the same company.

Definitely - in the nutrition disc.  I will be reviewing that and adding it to the review shortly.  It is one hour and goes in to great detail.  Troponin is one smart cookie.  I get the sense he actually knows what he's talking about beyond just the surface level.  If you want to learn new things, the second disc is where its.  After reading about bodybuilding for a while now, I don't find myself learning too much in training DVDs, but there was some detailed nutrition info in this 2-disc set.

Thanks for the fair answer Matt. Can the nutrition DVD be purchased aside from the Training DVD?

No, it's a bonus. But trust me on this one, both discs are worth it, and the price is negligible for the quality of the product!!!

we were toying with the idea of selling them both as separate DVDs.  But, I figured that I wouldn't be happy if I spent $40 on a 1 hour DVD, so we're throwing the Nutrition DVD in FREE with the training DVDs. 

It is my first DVD, so I really want to make sure people are getting their money's worth.

i wanted to bump this thread. i just got his DVD yesterday and i must say it is one of best training and nutrition DVDs i've seen. both guys are strong as hell with perfect form and everything justin says makes sense. i will be trying DC training after watching this DVD and his nutrition advice is very sound as well. Worth every penny...we need more laid back guys in this industry that train hard and show some intelligence.

Hopefully I still have the second disc (nutrition) in my room and I will get the review of it up shortly!

I decided that I will continue to review DVDs, but not take pictures from the DVD, or not take nearly as many, or only take them upon request.  Reviewing the DVDs doesn't take long, but it does take me a while to get the pictures from the DVD, format them, etc.
