Dogcrapp versus Ironman's Hit progrm, Help please.
Guys Im having trouble deciding between Dogcrapp traing and Ironman's HIT program. They seem very similar, But to me DC makes more sense. The only difference I can see is that DC advocates one set til failure, and HIT recommeds 3 sets til failure. It doest make sense to me to do more than one set til failure on each excersise. Can you guys give me some light at the end of the tunnel, cause Im lost in the dark. LOL.

You can't go wrong with either program.

Well, Ive been Injured for a while with a torn rotator and Im just getting back into everthing. Im looking to lose some fat, and Ive been doing morning cardio at 60 to 65% mhr for 45 minutes a everyday. But I have also lost alot of muscle, so I feel I need to bulk up, lol if that can possibly make any sense. Another words Im not worried about looks per say right now. I really just want to get back into it right now. I have my diet in check. Getting about 300g og protein a day and I cut out all the unessential carbs. My weight right now is 260 at 6ft, and I would take a guess and say Im at 20%BF. Id ultimately like to get to around 220 at 13 or below BF but I know thats a long way off. But Im hear to stay and I will be posting before and after pics of whatever I choose to do. Ive been through it before this injury, but the only way I went wrong was I was running way to fast for to long and It took its tole on all the muscle I was working for (got as rediculous as 2 miles in 9 and a half min). Since Ive been injured I have read and learned a great deal from alot of the great guys, including you Swole Cat. Thanks again for your time.

try the HIT routine first
DC reccomends trying every possible avenue (training and diet routines) before going onto DC

Whats up bro, I am not a pro on the subject, but here is my opinion. I have just started DC's routine (natural for now) and though I really cant tell anything yet, I will let you know how it goes if you want. If you decide to go HIT the please keep me informed cause I went through the same struggle. With so many plans, all with people backing and downing them, how do you know which one? Well I decided DC's for now and no doubt I am not doing it exactly as he would have me (even though I am trying my hardest to do everything right so I know if it gives me the gains I want). I personally think that you should pick a program, dedicate yourself to it and then if it works well for you stick to it. To each his own everyone is different with different goals and different stuff going on in their life that can help or hinder their results. SO.... absorb as much as you can, make an educated decision based on your goals, and run with it. Good luck!
PS. Take the advice of some of the real pros on here into consideration, these guys have been doin it for years.

Thanks a bunch for the replys? I wish you the best on your routines, and Ill keep you guys infomed on my routines and how they go. For now though I think im going to have to go with some type of higher volume training that doesnt require me to go til total muscular failure. Its just to hard on me, ever sice that injury. I just hope I can make gains without going til failure. Some say yes others say no. O well, its not like I have a choice right now. Peace.

I have a tear in my left rotator cuff. But I dont really have problems with shoulder excersises. What happens is anytime I workout hard or til failure, I have pain in my upperback, neck area. When ever I work out, the left side hurts 3 to 4 x as bad and takes twice as long to heal up. To tell you the truth all of the doctors I have seen are at a loss, they dont know whats wrong with me. Ive had many MRIs and have even gone to the sports orthepedic that works on all of the NewOrleans Saints. So its not like Im seeing chicken shit doctors. I have been inactive for 3 years and cant stand it anymore, but most routines hurt. I just dont know, how I can grow if I cant go hard. Im basically just pissed off and talking out my ass. Im probably not even going to be able to work out for long, but Ill try.

so, try HIT first....there's less you have to worry about I think...DC requires lots of adjustments....and i just feel that HIT is a lil simpler but you still get that lower volume training, if that's what your looking for

I have had 3 shoulder MRi, one neck, my whole scapular area. They even did a contrast MRI where they inject dye into my shoulder. I have had five MRIs altogether. Countless xrays, and even a couple of EMGs. Ive been to 2 neurologist and they all say Im healthy by their standards. Its crazy man. I have pain in my neck and trap of the left side at all times, which becomes worse after a workout. My left peck and bicep always become much more sore compared to my right. Its really strange. Its just so hard to get motivated and really into it when it hurts so bad to workout, and so long to heal. The strangest part is that even though I have a tear in my rotator cuff, I really dont have problems with shoulder movements or exibit normal problems of that area. It makes no sense and adds to my mental wellness. Cause I keep wondering WTF is wrong with me.

it actually kinda reminds me(from what little i have heard of both) of the way swolecat thinks, in terms of sticking to core movements, dumping isolation movements( or at least giving them the proper place) and loads of intensity

UrMaster, the workouts are stickied at the top of the workout forum.
