Bilat's DC Journal

I used to mix my chocolate whey with blackcurrent cordial. Tastes like Blackforest Gateux

For the 8 second negatives, you explode up right? DO you pause a second at the bottom of the negative or not?

For the 8 second negatives, you explode up right? DO you pause a second at the bottom of the negative or not?

I don't see how you can explode upwards after an 8 second negative.

 

[jerkbox]

My negatives are basically about 2-3 seconds......Doggcrapp had a post on here not too long ago that this was ideal.....I don't see how anyone could do 12-15 reps with heavy weight doing 6-8 second negatives.......

 

[FatRat]

I think Dog’s point was that if you count out 5 –6 you are probably hitting 3 – 4 true seconds, which is the control he is looking for.

I wouldn’t say my positives are “explosive”, certainly after a few of those slow negs, but I try to give them everything whilst keeping the movement as strict as I can!

 

[Debaser]

Just to intervene a bit on diet, he definitely has enough carbs louden, especially for his weight. Remember DC is only a moderate carb diet. What I would bump up bilat is the healthful fats. And this is extremely easy to do. First of all this is what I would buy:

Extra Virgin olive oil (the extra virgin IS important)
Grapeseed oil
Udo's choice oil blend

Now in your predominantly fat and protein meals, just dump one of the oils in the shakes. At your weight I would shoot for 6 tblspoons a day (2 of each oil in 3 shakes). If you don't have 3 shakes a day, you can pretty much take Udo's straight, it tastes pretty good. That would bump up your cals close to 700, and it would all be extremely healthful fats.

I thought DC recommended 8 second negatives?

I did like 4 reps on 8 second negatives, put the bar back up. Breath for 15, another 4, etc.

So you just count like 3-4 seconds for the negatives, then do a slow controlled positive?

Can you get the Extra Virgin oil from a grocery store? If not, where else could I get healthy fats from real food?

For nontraining days, I won't have a pre/postworkout meal so this is what i'll be eating:

7:00- 3 eggs, 1/2 c oatmeal, 2 scoop whey 10oz milk, multivitamin, maybe vitamin C pill too.
12:00-schoollunch
3:40 - 1 Scoop whey with 10oz milk
4:30 - 10oz chicken breast, 1/2 C oatmeal, 20oz milk
6:30 - 10oz chicken breast, 20oz milk
8:30 - 2 Scoop whey, 10oz milk
Plus i'll have the extra virgin olive oil with my whey+milk if I can find it.

Again the calories are low, and there is a lack of wholesome foods such as vegetables, fruits, and grains. The foods I just mention are loaded with nutrients that help improve the metabolism and muscle function.

 

[bilat]

So how many fruits and vegetables should I eat? When should I eat them? I'm having oatmeal 2x/day, isnt that enough for carbs?
