    Dual Factor/Single Factor/Supercomensation/etc.

    Don't start to finger #### it.  If you are doing Madcow's version of the program, then you are in the volume phase, correct?  He uses alot of 1x5 pyramids, which is more for beginners anyways.  I'd say that once you are done with the volume phase, deload, then go straight into the intensity...

    Dual Factor/Single Factor/Supercomensation/etc.

    I don't think duel factor "garbage" is too complicated either. I agree that it is not needed for a beginner since they'll progress no matter what. I've been doing DF for quite a while now and I wish I did something like this a long time ago instead of going balls to the wall for months...

    First 5x5 cycle

    "isnt Animalmasses setup of dual factor different than Madcows/pendlay style of setup?" Yes. The main difference being inclines instead of flat bench on the third workout, and everything under the sun being 5x5, instead of any 1x5 pyramids. I did AM's version, but pyramided up the...

    First 5x5 cycle

    Ok, found it.  Actually, this thread should be destroyed because after rereading it, there's nothing but name calling. I think the reason why everyone was aggravated was because the author of the post asked if it was "better than HST&quot...

    First 5x5 cycle

    I read a couple of pages from Matt Reynolds here a while back about DFHT that didn't receive very favorable remarks.  I'll definately find that link. Loading and deloading is the easiest thing I've ever done.  So far since switching from the 5x5 intensity phase to DFHT, my fitness has increased...

    First 5x5 cycle

    Yeah, I just cut and pasted it myself...Didn't actually read it. Too much effort. I've actually made spreadsheets for this kind of program. I'm almost ready for round two, trying to gun for a 425+ bench and my A2G of 365. That's what I like with this program. I gain some good mass, but the...

    First 5x5 cycle

    JS Rows: (By: Madcow1) Regular rows: end up straightening up at the hips along with the arching of the back. But if you can master doing them this way (JS) you will get a big back. This works because the lats actually extend (arch) the middle back in addition to other functions, just like with...

    First 5x5 cycle

    1. Absolutely not, unless you are doing a one week cycle of 5x5. Just like HST, you need to go and find your 1x5, 5x5 maxes and either input them in week 3 or week 4. If week 3, then you'll be setting new PR's in that final week of volume. Since it's your first run through, I'd advise you to put...

    my 5x5 plan, any feedback welcome

    Hey guys. I'm in week 7 of the intensity phase and loving it. I'm up to 250 at 17% bf which ain't too bad on a bulk. Anyways, I got a journal that describes in detail what you should be doing here: http://www.clutchfitness.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1142&PN=1 The main point of Bill...

    DC Diet "Secrets"

    Definately the case with me! But to a point. Mostly because I'm not planning on throwing a pair of speedo's on and standing on a stage. At 18% bodyfat I definately don't look fat, which is all I'm going for. I'd rather stay massive than GQ ripped. IMO :D

    DC Diet "Secrets"

    I read it fine.  Just a little defensive about writing something off as everyone must be doing steroids because you're not that big.  Maybe you are. Just how big are you? No offense. Sorry about not explaining myself:worship

    DC Diet "Secrets"

    So everyone including myself does steroids and DC? Isn't there always going to be a certain percentage using gear with every program? Pretty bold statement. From my actual experience using the program I'm steadily going to break 250. My supplements are creatine and protein. But, maybe that's not...

    DC Diet "Secrets"

    More than half are natural including myself.  He doesn't personally train me, but I was fortunate enough to hit up all the sticky's and get alot of knowledge at intensemuscle.com. 244 lbs at 16% bodyfat at the moment. I see Blade over there posting sometimes. DC says 70% is diet. That to me is a...
