Who is still doing DC training and how do you like it? I have been doing it for a long time now. I have tried to go back to other types a few times, but it just seems like DC works great for me and I go back to it. I really think I like working out so many different muscles in one day.
DC Training?
- Thread starter highside
- Start date
It is about the only thing I can actually continue to grow on. Not much, but even when off I continue to grow and get stronger. Plus it keeps me motivated. I guess seeing numbers go up kind of keeps me motivated.
3 days a week is what I stick to also. If I try 4, it does not feel like I recover enough. Every long once in a while I have to travel and skip a day. I feel like even if I only got the 2 days in that week I still hit every muscle pretty good.
you gotta make sure you stop DC training for 2 weeks every 8 weeks. I train lightly one week, take the next off, and come back to the 8 week "blast" even stronger.
and man is it hard cutting back those 2 weeks. but you gotta if you want to continue gaining.

This is something I need to work on. So what do you do for those 2 weeks. Just go back to a regular workout. I usually just don't push myself hard for two weeks and workout real easy. Do you actually not workout?
last "cruise" I worked out both weeks. But I have a problem of the mentality "if you're not gonna do it balls out, do waste youre time". So I find it hard to go in the gym and not go all out every time. Those "cruise" weeks I go lighter, more reps, dont really tax the nervous system. Sitting at home on my ass for 2 weeks would probably be just as productive, truth be known.

It's not really too complicated, but I forget the grouping so you'll have to search that. Basically all the bodyparts are split into 2 training sessions. You pick 3 exercises per bodypart. 1 exercise and one all out set per training day. Rotate the exercises. Everytime you get back to an exercise you have done before you have to beat weight and or reps. You train 3 days a week so one week one group will get trained once, the next week it is twice.
I do a modified DC workout now, but that will soon change as I get closer to contest time.
Sammy, sorry I just skipped right over your post. It would really be hard for me to type it all here and I am by no means a pro at the DC stuff. Dreww would be a lot better at explaining it. If you search the web there is a document that is about 20 pages that I printed out and read when I first started it. I just read all the different DC stuff out there. It also focuses on extreme stretching.

Some methods work well for some in that they help the person's physiology respond better since some will overtrain to the same stimulus that works for another person and vice versus. I don't think there's anything in particularly special, just that it is coincidental. Bottom line is if you keep progressing to more reps and more weight lifted, then you will experience muscle growth.
