    True Dat! If we try and keep up with the Zen Master we will end up in traction! The theory behind DC training or any other good training philosophy is to keep making improvements. Adding weight every time is not the only way to improve. I am constantly trying to improve my form, going deeper, with more time under tension, slower negatives, etc. anything that can increase the stress on the muscle trained without adding too much stress on the ligaments and tendons. I have felt more stress on my quads that way versus packing on the poundages. Although I do agree with Steve, a combination of all the above is very effective.

IMHO doing a 500lb squat for 2 reps then resting for 3 minutes to do another set is far less beneficial to muscle atrophy than doing a 225lb squat to complete failure with very little rest between sets.
    Thanks for the reminder! I have trained heavy (for me) with low reps and long rest periods for years. Paid the price many times! One thing I've noticed about older lifters is the really good ones learn how to get the most out of moderate to light weights.

    A real eye opener for me was watching a video of Robby Robinson workout. He was using really light weights but you could just tell he was getting a great workout.

    I'm reinventing myself this year, tired of nagging injurys and I want to be able to keep lifting till I'm Jack Lalanne's age!

    Hey Joel, why the carbs before cardio in the morning?

    Isn't that counter-productive or is this just non-fasted cardio?

    I've tried fasted cardio when I did LISS. It just makes me flat and I lose muscle. I've gotten much better results with HIIT, its all about total calories burned. The blood sugar spike before training helps protect muscle. I know there are people who swear by fasted cardio though.

    I don't swear by it, but you're right about HIIT vs LISS. HIIT really lit up my metabolism.

    I always popped BCAAs before cardio to stave off going catabolic.

    I've gotten results doing cardio both ways but I can't see spending 2 or 3 times as long doing it if I can get results going 16-20 min. Plus I hate cardio! lol

    I do to. IF I do start doing cardio for my prep, I'll do HIIT between 15-20 minutes. Plenty to rev metabolism plus you get aneorobic exercise HIIT to cut up wheels better without stringing them out!!

    Saturday morning leg blast. If I were giving myself a grade it would be a B today. I just wasn't on my game, maybe because of the time of day or maybe just feeling the effects of my diet. Had a hard time catching my breath between sets.

    standing calf raise
    155x15,225x12,255x12,270x10,285x10

    seated calf
    4x10 with 3 plates

    45 sec between sets of calf exercises

    squats
    135x15,225x10,275x10,315x10,335x8,365x6,315x10

    Rested about a minute between sets of squats. Hadn't gone very heavy in a few weeks so maybe that was a factor.

    leg press
    580x10,10,10,10

    45 sec between sets

    leg ex supersetted with leg curls

    leg ex 225x10,10,10,10

    leg curl 75x10,10,10,10

    seated leg curl
    130x10,10,10,8

    sldl
    225x10,10,10

    Was planning on going heavier on sldl but I was getting pretty gassed by the time I got to them. Plus my lower back was feeling a little tight.
    Finished in 1 hour 10 min.

    That's a hella load in just over an hour! Great job on the squats. If you havent squatted heavy in awhile it will def tax the CNS, plus dieting sucks the energy out ya too.
