dex while cutting

[dr.shred]

I am really trying to get super strict with my diet like I was preparing for a show. My question is is that I have dex/pro after my first strength lift in morning 40dex/20p and at night after my hypertrophy lift 75dex/35/p, I was wondering if I should cut one out?

[SwoleCat]

I'd never do dex/pro twice in one day myself, but that's just me.

thanks SC.

[taiboxa]

explain how the split in str/hyper works thats new one on me... and due to nutritional aspects it might be more beneficial to some how consolidate the 2 into a hybrid type of workout... meh just a thought.

[bor]

I'm interested in that too

[dr.shred]

strength in the morning two lifts high sets low reps 3min rest for ex. front squat 7x4 and semi stiff leg deadlift 7x4 3 min rest between sets. 4-5 hours later second lift. Hamstrings/quads/calves 1 min rest rep range 8-15 rest. Each lift takes about 45 min. This routine is awesome for strength. It is the eastern bodybuilding routine. I perform no cardio. Its a 5 day workout day off in between legs and back. For me i get leaner/stronger/bigger with high sets low reps because I am very fast twict. Last year I got 7% from 12 with no cardio and maintained weight of 190 doing Westside Barbell Routine. Almost no hypertrophy.

[taiboxa]

i grow off high rep and i know this all too well
otherwise i would go all out on this scheme.

[dr.shred]

ya everyone is different. What works for me might not work for you, but thats why I've been doing this new routine so I kinda get the best of both worlds.

[Kärnfysikern]

dr.shred can you plz point me to any site that explains that way of workingout? Sounds interesting.

Do you mean you grew or did not grew from westside?

Many of those exercises can be replaced. I did that exact 9 week program(this is the 9 week sample program from elitefitnessystems right?) as my first run with westside and got good results even though I replaced alot of exercises

yes that is true, however, you would gotten better gains using the exact program (I have down both and there is a noticeable difference not doing glute ham raises and revers hypers)

Did you ever try glute hams without a glute ham bench? With just a guy holding down your ankles??
Or pullthroughs instead of reverse hypers?

Unfortunaly I have never had a glute ham bench or reverse hyper aviable I wonder how much more I would have gained with those 2 pieces of equipment

[dr.shred]

Yes I have tried both. Having someone hold your ankles does not work well and you cannot use weight. I would bet your gains would be substantially greater with those two pieces of equipment.

[Kärnfysikern]

I have never even heard of a gym in sweden with a reverse hyper. Westside isnt big here either.
I guess I need to think of some way to rig upp my own gluteham.

Do you train like a powerlifter most of the time??

Pretty Much. I've tried just about everything you can think and training for strength seems to get me leaner, stronger, and bigger than anything else.

Same with me. Only bodybuilding routine I feel can compere with westside is doggcrapp. Not to mention its damn fun to be strong and explosive lol.

Right now Im experimenting with combining the 2 ways of workingout

yes, that is what I am doing now. Doing strength training high sets low reps long rest in the 1st lifting session and more hypertrophy in the second. Each session is roughly 45 min and totally kills me each day.

I have heard of dogg crap, but never actually seen one. Do you have one you could post?

[Kärnfysikern]

Its to complex to just post a routine its a whole way of thinking.
Il try to find a good link that describes it. A pretty long read but well worth it.

here it is

Lets stir things up
