Finished with DC... Strenght going down

[CB38AC]

Dogcrap training and eating was going GREAT till the last week or two but now after 2 months it seems I am getting weaker.

What type of program have people had success with... I'm at an alltime high from this program and LOVED it but I'm loosing strength and thats not going to cut it for the purpose of this train style which is to us bigger and bigger wieghts every workout.

2 months and you took off how much time? 6-8 weeks is the longest you want to do a full on push with a program, then you take a week or 2 of "down time". hence the reason DC recommends "cruising" for a week or 2. its not a term used exclusively for anabolics, it refers to a time when you lighten your workload, skip a workout, hit "normal" reps with lighter weights. basically let your body relax. that you can go balls to the wall, you cant expect to go forever and not stagnate. most programs are periodized to some degree to allow for this phenomenon (plateau).

i thought its impossible to over train with DC, HAHAHA, only if Debaser was here to read this

 

[Lord_Suston]

do nothing but eat for one week. Then pick a new routine and follow that for a few weeks and then take another break and repeat

Your overtraining. basically you have gone balls to the wall for 8 weeks. if you take about 10 days off, eat well, you will come stronger and bigger.

All these HIT style programs calling for training to failure incorporate a period where they know you will have to have a week or so off due to the cumulative central nervous system fatigue you are experiencing.
