Someone explain dfw to me like I’m 5

[eveyeve3362]

Man I’ve tried researching it an I get confused like fuck can I just get the numbers already? I may come off as slow for this but the whole “ladders 1,2,3,4(5)” does not help me understand how many C&P and front squats im supposed to do

 

[eveyeve3362]

@dawn16 Appreciate the explanation man

 

[dawn16]

@eveyeve3362 One rep, rest, two reps, rest, three reps, rest, four reps, rest, five reps.

 

[eveyeve3362]

@dawn16 Thank you

@dawn16 What is 3x3? I assumed it was each movement three times separately but reading other write ups it seems to just be a weird way to word sets of three.

 

[paulrj]

@snowlucario Yep, that’s 3 sets of 3 reps

@eveyeve3362 What is the purpose of training like that?

 

[eveyeve3362]

@jmaak Losing fat, i put on like 15 pounds over the holidays

@eveyeve3362 Going to have to eat better. Ladders arent magic

 

[eveyeve3362]

@loves2readya That would imply I’m not already eating better, you ever spent Christmas with a Hispanic family?

@eveyeve3362 Married to a Latina. Can verfiy OP is correct.

 

[eveyeve3362]

@faithinmet I can really only speak for my girls family, but literally all they do every get together is cook, the foods amazing I’m not complaining at all, but I have grown a tamale gut lol

@eveyeve3362 My lady is from Honduras, so it's the pupusas that are my downfall.

 

[eveyeve3362]

@faithinmet My girl family from Mexico but her dads side is Salvadoran so I feel your pain

 

[melodyt]

@faithinmet Can confirm xD

 

[loves2readya]

@eveyeve3362 It doesnt imply anything. Its just truth

 

[eveyeve3362]

@loves2readya I get ya, I’d say I eat clean at the moment, but I’m also at the closing end of a cross country move right now so I’ve kinda been slacking in the exercise department (minus moving a book case up 2 flights of stairs lol)

 

[snowlucario]

@eveyeve3362 The trick is giving them grand babies, then they will forgive you for the horrific sin of not eating the eleventh tamale with your third atole.

But for real, he's right. Plenty of people don't understand that there's no such thing as a magical program that makes you lose fat even if your diet doesn't support it. Any program will help you cut fat if you consume fewer calories than you burn, and basically any program will help you build muscle if you consume enough protein and eat more calories than you burn. Sure, some will be more efficient at either task than others but ultimately it's diet that determines whether you cut fat or gain muscle.
