Re: Dual Factor Training

I stuck to Big's example programme - except substituted Deadlifts for the Squats (so Deadlift, Rows, Bench, OHP & Chins).

I'm just curious what you guys would advise now? I did one of those slow routines (ie one set only of 4 sec up, 2 sec hold, 4 sec up) before this, but didn't see as much gains.

I'm pretty tempted to do another Dual Factor cycle? Should I stick with the same excercises? I'm tempted to do squats instead of deadlifts, although I made good progress on the deadlift, so am keen to see if I could push that further?

One final question - I don't use anything more than whey & creatine - I assume I should try and use the creatine for 2 or 3 weeks as both the volume & intensity phases are getting to the end (and getting hard)?

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated?


Thanks,
Donal
Hey dude, glad it worked well for you. I would suggest doing the same again and seeing what happens. When you find something that works for you, keep doing it until it stops working Once you've milked all the gains you can - that's when it's time to change things up.

As for creatine, by all means add some in throughout and see what happens. It is a fairly useful supplement, especially if you don't eat much red meat.
