Tiredness at the gym and finding a solution here is as good as going to doctor and saying I feel crap give me some meds. Can you be more specific?

When do you go to the gym? After work? How often do you go? What exercises do you do? What is the last meal you have before gym? What do you eat over an average day? Are you dieting? How much sleep do you get of a night and do you feel it is enough for you?

All factors that will influence this and there's plenty more.

Ok, I'll come back in here when I'm back in albury and I can give more info.

Good man. In the end there's only so much you can offer someone in a solution before they have to experiment themselves and know their body well enough to know what is wrong or where they can improve. One of the things that good lifters do well with experience!

I think you might have misunderstood what I meant..

DC training, when compared to many other "hypertrophy specific protocols", tends to also increase your strength much better than those same "body builder" routines.

I'm basing that claim off of the multitude of DC training logs on the internet, my own experience, experiences of people over at T-Nation forums, friends that have taken up the program, and my brother.

Walking is not running. Strong is strong.

I am not trying to position to say DC wont work just it doesnt look like it would the right program for a strength goal. But perhaps you have some strength examples that could help clarify.You posted a vid of an overhead press, does the DC training system mean you and your mates can easily clean press atleast your own bodyweight? That would indicate your claim has some salt to it.(quantify)

The guy in the OHP is Jeremy Hamilton, a top level powerlifter. He does his own programming, not some mediocre "bodybuilding" routine

I'll try this for a 3rd time :)

I'm not saying DC training would be your 'go to' choice if you had strength goals in mind.

Let's say we have two guys. For the sake of this example, everything about them is the same. Both are looking at gaining muscle, and to be aesthetically pleasing. These are their main goals. John does a typical, "body building" routine, such as a body part split (chest, back, legs, arms, shoulders, etc). James does DC training.

After a year, they compare. James has more muscle mass than John. James is also stronger.

All I'm saying, is that compared to your run-of-the-mill body building routines, DC has the best chance at building greater strength.

Yeah, JH is a beast in powerlifting. 220lb raw beast.

You're totally right France; he doesn't do a 5 day body part split. Good spotting.

Why does James have more muscle and is stronger after a year? Why does DC have the best chance at building strength? I go to a powerlifting gym and the guys I talk to there are on 5/3/1 or 5x5 program.

Because, a typical body building split is a crap way to train, and strength gains are minimal at best. If you were comparing just body building routines, then DC has the best chance at building strength relative to the other body building routines. If someone told me they were trying to get as strong as possible with a fantastic big 3 total, and were doing DC, I'd probably laugh at them. Same if they were doing a typical 5 day body part split.

I thought he was comparing to a typical BB split. You can also do DC training in conjunction with 5/3/1, but Wendler advises to never do it with squats and deadlifts.

This is correct. I was comparing to a typical BB split. Now I wonder why Wendler gives it the ok to use in conjunction with his program? (barring squats and deadlifts, of course)

Does DC stand for "Don't drink the Cool aid".

And if I change my name to James will I put on 10 kg of muscle in 6 weeks?

Sure.. it can stand for whatever you like really.

Who knows; why don't you change your name to James and we'll do an experiment? :)

The only scenarios where James would have more muscle mas and strength are:

1. James has good genetics

2. John has crap genetics

3. John did not consistently eat at a caloric surplus

4. James took steroids

5. Or they both took steroids however James used a larger stack

6. Or they used the same stack however James was more receptive to the drugs

7. John was inconsistent with his training

8. John lacks intensity with his training

9. James naturally had more muscle mass and strength to begin with

Holy hell, you leave this thread for a week and all of a sudden there's a bunch of plebs preaching about isolation heavy workouts and so on lol.

Can someone please explain to me what this DC training shite is? (In less than 2 novels)


In other news, creatine loading… BS or legit?
I just did a 20g p/day loading phase for a week for the first time ever to test how legit it is, but I have no data to stack it against (I haven't just taken the usual 5g p/day with no loading phase)

Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By MBS206 · Posted

      To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...

      Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block.

      Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol

      Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
