Try to ignore the name for now; instead, consider the fact that not only has DC become an Internet
bodybuilding board phenomenon, but DC disciple and pro bodybuilder Dave Henry has acquired 30
lean pounds in less than three years. That’s a lot of’ Crapp. We interviewed DC mastermind Dante
Trudel to learn about Doggcrapp’s rapid growth and why its adherents grow so rapidly. Trudel, 38,
grew up in Massachusetts and currently lives in Southern California with his wife, Dianne. He co-owns
the Internet supplement company Trueprotein.com. At 6’1″, he now weighs a muscular 280, but when
Trudel began bodybuilding at age 20, as he jokes, he was a wispy 137 “after a good meal and with
four rolls of quarters in my pocket.”
After developing his low-volume rest-pause training style and experiencing his greatest
growth, Trudel tutored his friends, who saw similar rapid results. From 1993 to 1995,
he published a cutting-edge bodybuilding newsletter called Hardcore Muscle.
However, it wasn’t until Trudel posted his theories on an Internet discussion board six years ago that
his ideas began to spread. Unfortunately, he used the screen name “Doggcrapp” for what he thought
would be his only post. Much to his surprise, he was deluged with questions, his original post grew to
118 pages and his writings were copied and pasted all over the Internet.
“Sad to say, I’m stuck with the moniker ‘Doggcrapp,’” Trudel laments with a laugh. “If I
could do it all over again, trust me, I would’ve gone with a much cooler screen name.”

If you get to a strength sticking point, you must turn to a different exercise for that
bodypart and get brutally strong on that new one. Looking at that piece of paper and
knowing what you have to do to beat your best will bring out the best in you.

three times in 14 days. He trains chest 52 times a year and grows 52 times, while you train chest 78
times a year and grow 78 times.
You’re doing only one exercise, out of your three rotated exercises, per bodypart each
workout while Joe Gymguy over there is doing incline barbell presses, flat dumbbell
presses and Hammer Strength decline presses in his chest workout today. You’re doing
the same exercises he’s doing over two weeks, but you’re growing at a much faster
rate.
For back thickness, I recommend a brutally heavy set of six to eight reps followed,
after a rest, by a slightly lighter set of 10 to 12, going to failure both times.
Do this one faithfully, and in four weeks your quads will look a lot different than they
used to.

Basically, I try to trick the human body into getting larger by becoming a muscle-building fat-burning
machine. In the simplest of terms, if you’re 180 and want to weigh 200, you’d better eat like a
220-pounder to get there. I say eat and train like a 300-pounder, cardio like a guy who is 8%
[bodyfat] and shore up all excesses with carb cutoffs, food combinations and key supplements green
tea, etc.

I think I can answer that best by asking the readers a question. Would Ronnie
Coleman, or any top pro, be the size he is today if he stayed lifting the same light
weights he started with when he was a beginner?
Are they really going to gain any leg mass after the second or third time? No, because
nothing has changed in the parameters to cause an increase in muscle size.

“Dante’s teachings have taken me to the next level. Most people hit plateaus, but this
style of training is all about progress. If there’s a plateau, you move around it and
keep going. It’s all about getting progressively stronger.” — David Henry
“I’ve been doing Doggcrapp since shortly after the 2006 Ironman. I’m not sure I’m
going to stick with it precisely. I’m still into more of Dorian Yates’ style, but there are
things I’ll take from Doggcrapp. I really like the rest-pause sets, and the
‘widowmakers’ for legs have been brutal. I do think the Doggcrapp philosophy that
gaining strength is the key to gaining mass is 100% correct.” — Mark Dugdale

e.g. If my 6RM bench press is 20kg the exercise would go something like this for example=
Once your body and head are ready perform the final set. e.g
HEAVY (working set)= Aim for 6-10 reps with good form. (Its ok if you only reach 6, as long as you get 7
or more reps next workout you are making progress.)
Rest for 10-15 breaths then aim for another 2-4 reps.
Rest for another 10-15 reps then aim for a final 1-2 reps.
As a side note: (there is no perfect rest time between sets, just make sure that it long enough that you
have gotten your breath back but not long enough that your muscles begin to cool down, this is usually
around 1-3 mins, but it really doesn’t matter.(
Also, as your strength and weight lifted increases you may need to gradually increase the number of
warm-up sets to ensure that all muscle fibers will be recruited on your HEAVY (working set).
The reason for not going to failure on warm-up sets is because the WORKING SET is supposed to be AS
INTENSE AS POSSIBLE. If you do your warm-up sets to failure then your WORKING SET will not be AS
INTENSE AS POSSIBLE, thus defeating the purpose of DC raining.
Keep a log book when training and once you finish your WORKING SET write doen the total number of
reps you pushed out on your WORKING SET.
7 + 3 + 2 = 12 TOTAL REPS
Remember: As long as you beat the log book (weight or reps) each workout, you will be growing.
- Say for forearms that aren’t rest-paused. When u train them do you do just 1 set to failure or 4 non
rest-paused sets to failure similar to regular volume training?
- For cruise phase, do you still rest-pause and just NOT go to failure, while using lighter weights? OR is it
more like volume training just with lighter weights?
Thanks in advance!!
