RACKITUP DOGGCRAPP bulking to 240lbs

[RACKITUP]

Welcome to my log:

Been really ill last week, damn freshers flu.

Just going to collect myself together and get this log underway, over the next few day if there is enough interest

My goal is too get to 240lbs by next march (I am ****ing sick of being a guy who lifts weights, I want to be a BODYBUILDER)

That means a weight gain of just under lb a week as Im currently around 205-210lbs @5'10"

My current diet looks something like this:

[Glyder]

Good luck Rackit!!! I am actually going to get Dante to train me starting in June, I cant wait.

I am currently working on a DC routine, like you trying my best. SOrt of just doing it to get my ranges and get my body ready for the blast thats coming in June. I am currently cutting to lose some weight to get ready for the massive food intake that I am expecting as well

[regopsp22]

Good luck! I'll be reading - really like the crapp principles!

[SoG]

I just started my DC journal so I'll be checking yours out regularly.

See you around and remember...

EAT!

Rack, me old limey poof!

I know you have it in you. It just seems like every time you get going something happens that halts your progress. You know the principles, you have the drive. At your height 240 is definately obtainable.

I'm gonna watch you like a hawk this time. I want to see workouts and I want to see diet. I want to see supplements. I want to see blood!

Dont make me fly across the pond and come getcha! I'll bring In-Human with me!!

[milo34]

you're only 19 and starting DC?? i thought you had to have many many years experience before you started this . i was considering it myself until i realised (via a quote by Dante or In-Human) i had to exhaust all the other methods first.

nevertheless, i'm very interested to see how this goes. best of luck

It's mostly a maturity issue.

[sword chucks]

Good luck man, I personally cant wait until I begin DC training. WHen I am completely honest with myself, I can't say that I am ready for it.

What kind of stuff usually gets in your way? You have to make sure that stuff doesnt get in your way then

[mivi320]

Best of luck with DC. I'm sure you'll do well with it.

[JNo20]

RACK, I'll be checkin this sucka regularly, so don't disappoint!!!

You're 205-210 @ 5'10"
I am 196 @ 5'11"
Let's have a little fun and see who can hit 240 first. I know you've got a big head start, but I've got some height, so I'll keep pushing ya.

I've got a running log at intens************, feel free to check it out.

Good idea.....but I dont plan on sticking around 200 for long

Gollum, great to see you here, hope to see u and IHN around alot

I will also be getting alot of videos up, pics etc too

As for my age, I have been training 4yrs, got my head on straight, expect results and 100% focused and dedicated to the task ahead....oh and already have a good foundation

[RACKITUP]

today got up at half 8, drank a protein shake, 2 cups of green tea and headed off to the gym

Low intensity cardio
5kph @3.5 incline---40minutes

Kept well hydrated, worked up a slight sweat

[Slimmer]

[RACKITUP]

Yup ill subscribe

Im also starting DC and we both have similar stats (age-19, weight-220lb, height-6') so it will be nice to have something to use for comparison as well as motivation.

I have a few question that you might be able to answer for me. What rep ranges are you working with for your rest pause sets and what are your plans regarding what to rest pause and what not too? Dante himself recommends against doing RP sets for some exercises including deadlift and squats prefering to a 4-8 set for deads followed by a 10-12 set and a 20 rep set for squats followed by a 4-8 set, whats your take on this?? He does say that the 4-8 sets are only for people concerned with those areas though

[DOGGCRAPP]

RACKITUP IM GOING TO HAVE YOU CRAPPING THUNDER AND ****TING LIGHTNING!!!

(wait a second i dont even train this guy--sorry bout that guys, I got psyched up and carried away)

[Gr8Ape]

lol^

Rackdeadlifts and deadlifts I do one set of 8 reps, then rest a fair bit then hit a heavier set of 4

Squats I do the heavy ball busting set of 6-8 then widowmaker of around 20

T-bar rows I do one 12rep straight-set

SLDLs I personally prefer the straight set of 12, personally I wouldnt be able to do the other technique as my back fatigues quickly


As long as you are progressing safely its all good

even the censoring software is scared of ya

good to have you hear DC, Ill do you proud me old'e mucker (and of course make myself proud)


today was a good day of eating....."satisfied" would be the ideal word to use

[SoG]

RACK, do you do good mornings and if so, are they back thickness or hamstring exercise? They hit my back pretty hard.


-Dave

[RACKITUP]

SoG no i dont do GM's
I presume people prefer lbs, so ill convert for convenience
Yes I do SLDL's 1st
and there are no LT's because I dropped the weight and starting afresh due to illness


24/apr/2005 lower body (4)

SLDL's TT 242lbs x12
Preacher Curl TT 121lbs x8rp
HaMMer DB curls TT 38.5lb x9 each arm
Seated calves TT 110lbs x13
leg press TT 715lbs x6 600lbs x18

All in all good workout, nice and heavy. I really push for more weight each time, so I was a bit too optimistic on preachers went from LT 105lbs x15rp to 121lbs x8rp).....bit low perhaps, but it WILL be up next time

Considering I have only been working calves for 8 weeks I am estatic how they are progressing already 17" (I specifically joined a new gym because my uni gym lacked leg presses and calf machines)----bloke in the gym asked if I was ok after a fell off the seated calf machine....."cheers buddy, its all good"

[sword chucks]

Nice workout man.. weights look really nice..

Why did you do SLDL's first?

[RACKITUP]

SLDL's really fatigue my lower back (high predominance of fast twitch fibres apparently)

So I need a quad exercise that minimises lower back usage, else Id be screwed with back and front squats. So sldl's go on leg press day and STILL need to go at the beginning so my back has the session to recover for leg press.... lol did that make sense.

DC doesnt like the program being cluckfustered, but there are a (very) few exceptions... I believe the time at which sldl's are placed in a routine is one of them

That probably takes a while for you to realize that.. the program is supposed to be very personalized so good job.

[RACKITUP]

indeed the program very much depends on you knowing how your body reacts to training characteristics and nutrition... I am still learning new things but know alot already (response to rep ranges, recovery, rep speeds, lactose intolerance, carb cut offs, carb sensitivity etc-----co-incidencely my brother is very similar)

Thats good, I am still figuring some things out. Like I recently read that if u have a lot of gas or something you are eating something that your body can't digest.. I hope I dont have to cut out wheat bread

I find brocolli helps with gas, and less milk too.

Ginger I hear is also good for digestion, I grate some off and eat some---very strong taste I forewarn you!
