Too much or just enough?

Being a bodybuilder means a couple of things. For one, it means that you’re looking to transform your physical form into something that you believe resembles perfection. Secondly, you understand that the journey to get to that end point is filled with hard training and adherence to a strict nutrition plan. But most of all, bodybuilding is about perseverance. It’s about battling through injuries and getting into the gym even when you’re hurt. That’s what it means to be a professional bodybuilder. You must train and prepare in a way unlike any other athlete, especially if you’re trying to get to the top. It’s these concepts that Dallas McCarver has come to understand.

While he may be an experienced lifter, Dallas McCarver is still considered to be a young gun in the bodybuilding world. His genetics are impressive, his mindset is outstanding, and he sticks to a program that works. While so many people try different programs to see what works for them, Dallas McCarver has already found the training methods that work with his body. His training split is based on the great Ronnie Coleman’s program. Coleman was known to train hard, to a level which most other bodybuilders would consider extreme. But it’s that same training that led Coleman to eight straight Olympia wins. Dallas McCarver has tools and experience that can take him to the Olympia level, so mimicking Coleman’s program isn’t too insane of a prospect. What exactly is his program? Take a look below and get a dose of the work Dallas McCarver puts into the gym.

After running it by @thedietdoc I’ve decided to pretty much mimic Ronnie’s training split to the best of my abilities. I’ll be training everything twice weekly with one day off every 7th day. Of course I’ll have my own tweaks and changes as I’m not Ronnie and we both have unique physiques and goals. That being said this is what today’s workout looked like…. Monday Dec 26 training – Deads 225×10, 405×8, 585×6, 765×5 – Barbell rows 225×10, 405×8-12 for 3 sets – T bar rows (t bar was broke so used hammer strength upper back row) 1 plates per side x 12, 2ppsx10, 3ppsx8-10 for 2 sets – One are DB rows 100’s x 12 160’sx10-12 for 2 sets – Rear delt flys on incline bench 35’sx15, 45’sx12 , 55’sx12 – Rear delt cable flys 3 sets of 12-15 – DB shrugs 160’s x12-15 3 sets – 110lbs fixed bar curls 3 sets 12-15 – Seated hammer curls 55’s 3 sets 10-12 – Preacher DB curls 35’s 3 sets 10-15 – high cable curls 3 sets to failure alternating arms none stop @redcon1official #dallasmccarver #backday #redcon1 #bigcountry #asf2017
