Just been pondering over my new workout at the gym. It seems this DoggCrapp workout can do the trick especially given my body type. I do think my body responds better to a heavy weights workout which is what DoggCrapp is. I used to workout on the Rippetoes workout created by the master of squatting technique; Mark Rippetoe and noticed a significant increase in strength despite only performing 4 exercises per workout for 3 sets each.

My weight gain has now plateaued and I am stuck at 70kg but it’s not just that. I remember looking fuller and slightly bigger in the past than present. Now I am lifting OK weight but look a little smaller than before and this is down to my workout routine which isn’t fixed as well as an inconsistent diet and poor sleep patterns. God, I sound like the perfect novice but I am not new to the world of lifting weights and possess the know how. I just need to put what I know into practice without excuse and failure.

So this DoggCrapp workout consists of very heavy weights, extreme stretching and some cardio. Only one set is performed per exercise but DoggCrapp utilizes what Dante (creator of DoggCrapp) refers to as rest pause where one takes 10-12 deep breaths and goes at it again after reaching failure during the set. Apparently hitting 3 failures during one set will tax you out and I am certainly not surprised.

I am now aiming to be in my bed by 10:30pm to 11pm latest to get the much deserved sleep I will need whilst on this program. Diet is going to be key too so I will be hovering around the kitchen more often. Being the intensive program that it is, the protein requirement for my body weight is quite high at 300g per day. That is definitely going to be hard to reach on pure food alone as well as hard on my wallet so I will try my best and also hit that number with my good old whey protein and Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass.

Well after starting my blog a while ago then removing it, then re-starting it so on and so forth I have decided once again to give it a shot.  I don’t know if anyone will read this blog but it is more about me being able to look back at my life on the web. I hope the following year is eventful enough for me to actually make posts rather than post for the sake of posting anything.

Do you look forward to 2012? I just hope God willing, my new married life is exciting. I’ve been married not long ago and my wife recently got a pregnancy confirmation, well the constant sickness and lethargy should say it all really but it was worth the trip to the doctor’s clinic.

I just started using Adobe Indesign CS5. Those of you who do not know what it is I shall briefly say that it is an awesome desktop publishing software suite used by the professional industry. Great for producing posters, flyers, magazines, newspapers etc. Give it a whirl at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html
