oh and 225x20, I hate you. |
LOL, I think the views are more about this
style of training than anything about ME!..
His views on bodyfat operate on the fact that muscle gain is slow, fat loss is fast. Essentially, protein is priority. If I keep my protein high, the calories will take care of themselves. Carb Cuttoffs is another biggie: I set mine at 5 pm. Anything thereafter I eat along with my protein is green veggies, just enough to fill up my stomach and take the hunger away. For the past week, the only carbs I have are pre/postworkout, and morning oatmeal. Absolutely nothing else. I've been supplementing fish oil a lot as well with my protein instead of carbs. My energy is still high surprisingly enough. I used to be a carb junkie albeit spaghetti, hamburger helper, ect. Not anymore. Fairly strict diet I'm using, and combined with cardio on every off day (except for the days after legs) I'm definately dropping bodyfat..And the scale shows that my weight has already started to drop, slightly.
One important thing to also note is that when people such as myself start to drop bodyfat, usually the
last place it'll come off is the midsection!..For myself, my face starts to really thin out (don't know why), followed by arms, legs, then finally the midsection..Everyone basically has the same progression. So as long as the scale starts dropping
slowly, I'm good to go. Body recomp is entirely possible so long as the person's goals don't happen to be getting a six pack in a month!
When I was emailing him [Dante] back and forth answering his gigantic questionare (I was going to be a trainee), he was telling me that I was going to be doing a lot of cardio
. God I wish I went through with it, but 500 ducketts was too much at that time for a guy like me straight out of the Marines! Now things have changed, and I'm starting to save up! DC Training is no mystery, the training aspect is all here..Being a trainee paying for the service is almost all about dieting and the "what's" and "why's", which is well worth it, esp. if you look at the gallery.
Let me know when you're gonna want to start this kind of training..I've got tons of stuff on this and you know I'll help.
Back to training:
Today my legs are so sore!! The 20 repper is no joke. I'll honestly say that I was going to go light on these for a few weeks to get used to them..But that's not what DC training is all about. High intensity is high intensity. No holding back! So I made up my mind that I'd do the 225 and go until I couldn't do anymore, rerack it, and just rest/pause the rest. I was able to get 16 reps A2G before I felt as though my body was going to explode. So here's what I did. I reracked it, but stayed underneath it and did a long 5 breaths, then took it back up and very slowly finished the remainder by the skin of my teeth. 4 different people from the gym came up to me wondering if they should be doing 20 reps per set!...And wondering why I was A2G! Fucking stupid, huh?
