Beyond Body Opus

Beyond Body Opus Blog – Dan Duchaine’s revolutionary 1997 book was a breakthrough piece for bodybuilders. In this blog I will share my experience with this diet and show how a non-bodybuilder used it to transform his body. Rather than give advice, this blog is all about observations and experience. The one thing many people missed in Dan’s book was his insistence people make decisions for themselves and use their experiences to guide those decisions. This blog is designed to help people make those decisions.

Bonus Depletion Workout



Bonus Depletion Workout





Here is a bonus workout I use as a depletion workout.  I call this “Round Up From The Ground Up.”  I first put this routine together to strengthen my kettlebell snatch.  Perform all six exercises as a giant set, moving from one exercise to the next with no break.  You can save some time by using the same kettlebell for all six exercises.  Bonus points for not putting the kettlebell down during the set.

Exercise                             Reps

1.  Kettlebell Swing                 8
2.  Goblet Squat                      8
3.  Kettlebell Clean                  8 per side
4.  Kettlebell Military Press      8 per side
5.  Kettlebell Snatch                8 per side
6.  Kettlebell Row                    8 per side

That is one giant set.  Perform as many sets as you can while maintaining form.  Move quickly from one exercise to the next.  Use your instincts for rest between sets, keeping in mind rest between sets will expand over successive sets.

Stay strong!
