Any brand of DAA you like or use? I was looking at starting some maybe in a few weeks. Last thing I used was I-force Intimidate and really didn't noticed much difference other than it did help with sleep a bit. and with sooooo many types, just curious about what others like

You rolled out with the exact approach I did for the most part. CUt back a bit on areas that are ahead to make way for more frequency in the lagging areas. While upping cals and keeping 20min of liss in the morning, I don't think I trained legs once for an entire month and just focused all on my upper body. Strength is still no where what it was (nor am I anywhere near as heavy) before prep started, but have gained a decent amount of size up top and it's definitely noticeable to me. It's all about that priority training and no better time to strike hard than right after a show! Some people look at post show as a good time to relax and let the body breathe (which I totally understand), but I see it as an opportunity to get a good jump on things!

I have used a couple different brands. Currently (when I start again) I use bulk DAA powder from Needtobuildmuscle. It seems to be high quality as it doesnt upset my stomach like some others. Primaforce brand seemed to be pretty good as well.
I totally agree. I actually considered cutting my leg training back for awhile. I was thinking of maybe every other week. However, I am concerned that giving them that recovery time will just allow them to benefit that much more from each training session. How did your legs hold up to a month with no training besides cardio? That would be something I would consider doing at this point.A Passionate and Dynamic Approach to Physique Enhancement

Looks like a great training plan. I'll definitely be following along. Let me know what you think about hitting arms twice a week. I've been thinking of doing that because I also want to concentrate on my arms this offseason, but i worry about overtraining the smaller muscles.

i agree to an extent, depends on the recovery ability of the individual and the way ones training twice per week. What your doing is smart and makes sense. Johns got me setup hitting a heavy leg day on tuesday then hitting a lighter leg day on friday. Back in the day before i had good arms i was training w ifbb pro edson prado at first he had me hitting bis w chest and tris w shoulders then as i got more advanced he had me doing things 2 diff ways. sometimes wed hit a fullblown arm workout after chest and another fullblown arm workout after shoulders. then sometimes wed hit a fullblown arm workout after chest and just bis or tris af ter shoulders. it worked well at the time for sure.

Thats why most research done on training shows training with a frequency of 2x a week most effective/optimal
Not to mention how much overlap there is on your arms from Rowing and Pushing movements (bb rows, bench, dips, Pull-Ups..) so they are hammered more than people think.
Funny thing is sometimes people who do less work for arms see them grow more. Anyway it wont hurt to try it out. All about learning your body and what works best!Last edited by The Solution; 07-17-2012 at 04:58 PM.

Within reason everything can be hit twice. I feel your muscles and nervous system will both adapt. The way the split is set up makes a difference though. Varying volume can help offset the overtraining. Overtraining gets a bad rap though. If you ease your way into the body will adapt to alot more than most people realize.A Passionate and Dynamic Approach to Physique Enhancement
