    Unless your on a cycle, this is way too much volume for one workout. Even on a cycle it is too much per day. Split your back and chest onto different days for sure. Also, you do not need to do warmups for each different excercise of the same bodypart.. Just warm up before the first set of each bodypart. I think you would do better if you simplified things.

    I had a routine about the same for 6 weeks and it all it did was tire the hell out of me and hurt my mass gains. I went with less volume more wieght,focused more on form in just a few basic excersises.I made massisve gains in just a month.

    That is not a dc routine. You have not read anything related to dc.

    Tris, shoulders and chest in one workout is not a good plan. isolate two muscle groups per workout. Try not to mix legs and upper body in at the same time. Keep blood flowing to either the upper or lower body at one time. You get better pumps.

    Shoulders: I dont see the difference in standing and sitting military. They are both the same exact movement. Try doing shrugs, upright rows and dumbell military.

    Bro its very different from a DC training routine. you should only perform one excercise per body part per workout. You are obviously doing 3 for chest. pick only one, following chest workout pick another and so on til you get back to the original.

    Ok ok...I took your advice everyone Saboudian yes I did read over it, but I guess not well enough. Here is what I did today...doing this right yet?

    Chest: Flat Benchpress 3 sets. 12, 10 , 10

    Shoulders: Uprightrows 12, 10,10

    Triceps : 10,10,10

    Back: Seated cable rows 12, 10 10

    ...Why do I still have a feeling I didnt do this right.?.

    Here Ill simplfy it down Diablo...

    You do ONE exercise per bodypart(back is two though...), per workout...

    What you do, using the exercises you listed...

    Flat Benchpress...Pump out as many as you can(aim for 6-12)...Explode up on the positive and do a 6-8 second descent(negative) of the weight towards your chest on each repitition...Your last rep should involve you struggling to get it up and then you going back down with a 6-8 negative that a spotter pulls off and racks...
    Take 15-20 seconds to regain your breath...Get back in and pump as many as you can(another 3-6), again struggle to get it up and go back down and then have it racked...
    Again Take 15-20 seconds to regain your breath...Get back in and pump as many as you can(another 2-6), again struggle to get it up and go back down and then have it racked...This time though, immediately pick the bar up and do a static, hold the weight 4-6" from the top for 30 seconds...Do the fly stretch for 60 seconds and your done. If you did 185 10 then 5 then 3, WRITE it down that you did 185 X 18 reps. Next time this workout comes up either do 195 X 16 or again 185 X 20+...Increase the weight or reps...If thats not possible, new exercise time...


    Upright Rows
    Go wide, and follow the above. Pump the reps out with a slow negative until failure. 20 seconds and repeat. 20 second and repeat. Static. Shoulder stretch with the bar(in thread!) Shoulder done...

    Tricep Exercise...Same as above with Set to failure, 20 sec rest then set, 20 rest then sec...Tricep stretch

    Back Width first
    Do some pulldowns(whatever grip), assisted pull ups, machine pulldowns, etc. Same as above with Set to failure, 20 sec rest then set, 20 rest then sec...

    Back Mass = Rows
    Same as above with Set to failure, 20 sec rest then set, 20 rest then sec...Back stretch

    You should have 6 workouts...Pick your 3 favorite exercises for each group and make 6 routines...What you will do is a MWF(in other words every other day then 2 days off) schedule. First week 1A, 1B, 2A. Second Week 2B, 3A, 3B. Repeat. A= Chest, Shoulder, Tricep, Back Width, Back thickness. B= Bicep, Forearms, Calves, Hammies, Quads.

    After 4-6 weeks I believe DC advocates resting by doing 2 week with normal workout style of multiple exercises and sets. Then get back to the DC style

    Its sounds like you either did it wrong...again...

    1) It sounds like you did 1 straight set of 10 reps...Ten isnt enough...It should be either a rest pause set as I described of like 8-4-3 = 15 reps or like a set where you fail at 8-10, still holding the weight you pump out an additional few reps after a few minutes, etc.

    Heres how DC described it...
    "...with an extremely heavy weight and at 12reps I want to quit.....but somehow, someway I make myself do 13, then the 14th, the 15th--my face is now beet red and I’m breathing like a locomotive yet I 'will' myself to do another rep, another, another---with two more reps to go till 20, I feel faint but I am going to ****ing do it because "I am not driving my car home thinking how I pussed out and didn’t make it"....19.....and 20 goes up agonizing slow and I am thinking to myself "oh please, please go up"----done!"

    2) "then I did my negatives"

    You should be doing the same negative every rep..Shoot for 6-8 seconds....

    3) Extreme stretches at all?
