Good list. Throw in step-ups for hamstrings. The higher the step, the greater the recruitment of the hamstrings. One of the best exercises you can do for them.

bought myself some 1.25lbs olympic plates for the movements I'm really struggling on weight wise, used them fir the first time yesterday on a couple of movements and I think they're gonna work out just fine. anyone else ever try this to help push past sticking points? sometimes 5lbs on a BB movement is too much....

Yep, I have 1.25 lb plates and use them all the time for upper body movements.
It's called microloading and it's a great way to progress.

hello friends,
im thinking of using this routine for my first cycle and i have a couple of Q's regarding:
im currently cutting and plan to use this routine for my first cycle like i said, but after i cut and before that i plan to take around 4 weeks to regain some strength and what not, im wondering if it will be okay to start this routine right off the bat or should i use another routine for those 4 weeks? I have read that someone else did something similar to this and took a different routine between their cut and this routine.
also i keep reading that one should use a 5-8 second negative on all the exercises for this routine, but from watching all of the dc videos i have not seen one person do this including dante himself lol, is this to be used only for the rest pause sets or was he just exaggerating and making a point to concentrate on the negative?
so its supposed to be 4 weeks goin hard then 2 weeks of taking it "easy," i have read that dante didn't really do a normal deload but i think it would be a good idea to once i get to that point; what do you guys do during those 2 weeks?
guess thats all i have to ask for now bros, thanks in advance!Last edited by bigchamp89; 07-31-2011 at 12:30 AM.

I would use the four weeks to play around with the program and become acclimated to it. Learn the scheme, the stretches, etc.
The negative should be controlled so as to be able to reverse the rep without a problem.
The blast is based on how your progressing. When the progression halts time to cruise. During that two weeks, or longer, switch exercises up, play with rest periods, do straight sets with crazy reps, whatever you feel based on how you need to recover for the next blast. IMHO.

question for you guys:
have you ever done deads using a trap bar? I have some back problems and whenever I do any type of lifting in front of my body like a regular deadlift my back bothers me alot. With the trap bar the movement will be more "linear" so I think I can do these without any torque on my lower back. I never really considered it but the place I work out at just got a trap bar.
Let me know what you think.
