As a natty I would overtrain with that D/C training, but I think the idea behind it is very interesting…how far have you looked in to it, have you tried the extreme stretching?Quote:

I dont even remember why I stopped doing the MM routine. I have always liked to do a whole body session then 3 days later repeat, but I have been force fed other methods that have brainwashed me. Its time to get back to where I was.
The routine I liked was like this:
monday-
benchx3sets
shoulder pressx3sets
deadliftx3sets
shrugx2sets
curlx2sets
tri pushdownsx1sets
wrist curlsx1sets
wed-squatx5sets
fri-repeat monday etc
pretty odd but I always got a good pump and stronger. I guess my shoulder and back hasnt helped me stay on a consistant routine.
is that your DC routineQuote:

Where did you get that "DC routine"?
I did not say "this is my dc routine" on my post.Quote:

Yes, yes it does. My bad bro.
anyways... about DC. the reason why it mainly works is it hits the basic things you want really hard.
It almost forces you to lift big compound movements with intensity... and even more importantly his "diet secrets" are another big part. His methods make you eat a TON.
Most people when bulking don't eat nearly enough to grow. Even when they think they are eating too much... still not even close.
I did it for awhile.... I liked it. To each their own though.
I cant remember now bb.com i think, but it was about 50 pages long, I just about got though it, a good read, its just training like that would be to strange for me, cheat 3 times a week, ect, ect, I no the principal behind the training I just cant bring my self to do it lol....Quote:

So YES, I recommend it to almost anyone. Only thing, you should have a couple years of training under your belt before you start that type of program. If you're a newbie, you'll f*ck a lot of things up.
(P.S.: I'm still natural)
Also, I bastardized it a bit, I didn't do the static holds. But still, it worked pretty well.
The big drawback I keep hearing is the stress on your tendons and joints I no ppl that have done D/C for only 6 weeks and have stopped because of this.
Another good reason to have years of training under your belt. Your body will be able to take more of a pounding.Quote:
