(Sorry if i use european size definition, but i’m from germany and i’m here because i don’t like german shittalk forums.)
So, i gotta say i have a quite bad genetic, my regeneration sux. before bodybuilding i played computer all day long. for years - that doesn’t mean im a ugly bastard :P.
so,
i started Chad’s TBT using the following plan for the first 2 weeks:
If you are hitting muscles you haven’t worked before, they will get sore. If you can move around and function, do the workout. If it hurts so much that it limits your movement patterns, you may need to take a day off so that you don’t get hurt.
Also excessive soreness can be a sign that you are not providing adequate nutrition. Make sure your calories are in the right place and your PWO is sufficient.
i have tried several training programs. last i tried was “PITT” if anyone knows it in the USA. it’s a german low volume program with 2 workouts per week - gave me soreness every week.
so should i move on? will my body adapt? tomorrow im going to do sumo deads and dumbbell rows which i haven’t tried yet, so i think my doms will increase ??
Yes, work through the soreness. Let it hurt. Besides, once you start working the soreness will not be so bad.
Chad’s programs work…Keep at it. You will like the results.

That’s why I’m trying this TBT!
But what comes to my mind … i have a quite bad regeneration, so i really really hope to adapt to this.
so long.[/quote]
But why? As Brant pointed out, insufficient calories can be a reason. Also, lack of sleep can be a factor. You need to try and figure out if there is anything that you aren’t doing that could help. It could be as simple as your post workout nutrition, proper flexibility, adequate sleep or just eating more.

Yes, he has a point. Nutrition could be a huge factor in your recovery. If nothing else try to add 30 to 50 grams of extra protein a day. Get it from a shake, tuna, or a schnitzel, etc. But try to add some more protein. Or you can change your diet completely.
TBT is trains your body to recover faster, so that in itself may help, but also try to eat a little cleaner and see if that doesn’t improve even more.
Hey, i think i eat enough. I would list my daily food if i only knew the english names :P.
i just did workout number 2, and i can say i could lift the same weight i used at negative DB bench at flat dumbbell bench for even more 3 reps, but i had a real hard doms in my pecs. the reason for that could be i never did dumbbell excercises for about 4 months.
is it normal i feel a bit stronger at sumo deads? i dont have to bend over so much, neither i have to bent my knees as much as i do at classic deads. could be my flexibility …
anyway, sumo deads is a real great excercise.
i did lunges aswell for the first time in my life. i think ill get real doms tomorrow :P. it was a real problem for me to keep my balance. next week it’ll work better i think.
ill inform you asap when i did my next workout.
lets see if i have a bigger sore tomorrow than i already had before.
i hope not though.
