DC training, HIT, PRRS....All bullshit

[Palpatine Q]

How many guys here adhere to a strict training philosophy? I don't because IMO the human body adapts to stressors placed upon it. If you train like clockwork and stick to the same training style you will stagnate. AS far as training styles mine is switch it up constantly, but always commit yourself 100% mentally. The great Shawn Ray once said "sometimes I don't even know what I'm going to train on a given day inthe gym" and he managed to do okay. I think most trainers adhere to a strict protocol as a kind of crutch, "If I do XYZ every week I'll get big" which is patently false. The real secret to developing a great physique(like mine) is learning your bodies kineseology and biomechanics. Learn what works for your own body, invent your own exercises. Bodybuilding is a purely individual pursuit. One size does not fit all. Don't be a pod, use your brain

[Mr. Intenseone]

All I know is that unless your a powerlifter..HIT is a crock of crap!

[Captain Equipoise]

What!!??! no.. my life's over, I'm going to go jump off a bridge...

all jokes aside, Lee Priest apparently trains in the same 'let your body decide what's best for it' manner.

It's all about genetics and eating.  Muscle stimulation is easy.

now if you only learned how to stimulate a woman, you fruitcake.

[BallzDeep69]

I do my own damn training protocol.  I rarely deviate from it, besides occasionally changing an exercises here and there.

i thought your protocol consisted of going down to the local ymca and striking up conversations with old naked men in the locker room.

Strict training does work with each bodypart equally trained, i disagree with the philosphy of training on instinct.Like Dorian said if i train by instinct i would be down the pub.
If a strict training method is not working for you.Look at Diet and Sleep.I know by experience if you train by instinct you will probaly lag in some bodyparts.

YEsyes Bast So few people get how simple it really is.

Just a few a the myths that retards believe:

Higher reps are for definition.

You can't build big legs without squats

1.5 grams of protien per lb of lean  body mass.

Yes Groink Yes. 

 Also glutamine, carnitine, shitine,  etc all these gay herbs (amino acids for you nutrition nazis) that 'bodybuilders' take don't do shit.

Post workout simple carbs don't do shit.

others that I don't want to get into because I don't want to give away my nutritional secrets. They'll knock everyone's socks off.  They're not ready for that yet!

Yes, and you would know because you're so big and strong.

I don't like to give away secrets either. fvck everybody....figure it out for yourself. I always go to the gym off peak so less people can see my innovative exercises. n1ggers are constantly biting my rhymes. I am on 3 Vicodins right now.

[Palpatine Q]

Bast has numerous photos up. he's got a very good build. Starfish licker.

I'm not about being a big gay musclebear like you, Brian. 

[Bast175]

hahah yes, Brian has a monster fear of posting pictures due to obesity issues. 

[BallzDeep69]

If that's him in his avatar then he looks like one bloated ugly guy and I'd be looking down in photos too if I were him!

I think it partially depends on where you are in your years/experience of training.  A newbie should not rely on feel, but more strictly follow a program and use compound movements (IE:deadlift, squat, etc...) and strive to get form down.  As someone progresses in experience they will tend to learn what is working for them and adjust accordingly.

[Marty Champions]

you have to be progressive. i think the safest way is to be progressive in VOLUME not pounds because form gets more and more sloppy the more pounds you use...

so if your used to doing 10 sets for chest try doing 20 and keep upping it. youll spend more time in the gym but your physique will improve

There is no reason for form to get sloppy, you just need to make sure you can handle the weight you are using.  I strongly disagree with increasing volume while sacrificing weight.

Form should not be sarcrificed while training DC so I agree with you.  The purpose of DC is to utilize progressive resistance by always beating your previous best on a particular excercise, it might only be 5lbs or 2.5lbs or maybe 2 reps with the same weight but you are always progressing.  Because of the way reps are performed, nice controlled negatives and explosive positives form should really never waver.

well its all in how you interpret form i guess.. let me explain

alot of people will just use more momentum to lift more weight while this is good for powerlifting.  i dont think increasing speed is what we want that means LESS time undertension so in reality your not lifting as MUCH but you are lifting more weight but for not as LONG.

welllll.....in DC you lower the weight slowly accentuating the negative portion of the rep, thus keeping the muscle under tension longer you then explode up, which is kida like compensatory exceleration training that was a big thing in the early 90's, I don't know if this is what that portion of DC is based on but this is what it reminds me of.  Anyway you accelerate up and again slow controlled negative then at the end of the set you utilize a static hold so you are keeping the muscle under stress for quite a long period of time.  Reaching failure is the key, once musculare failure is reached there are studies that show that it is pointless to continue.  DC allows you to reach total musculare failure. 

[Palpatine Q]

Did you guys know that Dante invented chinups and stretching?





































And 25 lb dumbells?

[Palpatine Q]

Seriously  DC is a good system, they are all good systems I'm just against getting married to one method. AS far as upping volume I would not do  really high volume unless I was on something. You won't recuperate.

Post your picture and show us what a great physique you've attained, since you've obviously tried all of these things and they haven't worked, let's see what REALLY works.

Because if you can't back it up with photos, you're just blowing hot air.
