Does anybody here still do DC training? If so, what did you do and how did work for you???

[Bison]

never tried it, i got a friend who has a 440 raw bench at 215lbs natural and im about to see if he wants to give it a shot.

I heard it is brutal. I do the stretches from it every day. Has helped me out alot with flexability. But its not something you look forward too, hehe

i have been doing it since November. i contacted DC and paid him for the full program. i figured if your gonna do it might as well fully do it. I will blast for 8-10 weeks (the hard training) and then cruise for 3-4 weeks (light 1-2 straight sets 15-20 reps).
the training is brutal. you will be amazed how much you can get off 1-2 sets. widowmaker sets for the quads make you want to cry. the stretching is painful. although my weight has not changed a whole lot, my body has a different look and i have gotten leaner in the process.

it would be great to have a partner to do this workout with. i do it alone, and at times it can be tough both mentally, and you have to be a bit creative for some things without a partner.

Did it and loved it...I am now working with PHIL and enjoy his program as well...I plan on getting back on DC program here soon.

The workouts are brutal and if you do not have the heart for it, do not do it...you are only wasting time...the stretches are KILLER...feels like the muscle is being cut by razor blades by the time 30secs rolls around.

I too saw excellent shape change in my muscles...fuller and rounder.

If you have access to it 100% do it and you will hate the first 4 weeks, but after that you will love it.

CHEST: not to get into too much detail, because we could be here a while.

EX: INCLINE BARBELL: WARM UP
SET #1 5 to 7 reps 7 seconds down 1 seconf up
15 deep breaths
SET #2 8 to 10 reps 7 secs down 1 sec up
15 deep breaths
SET #3 12 to 15 reps 7 secs down 1 sec up
after the last rep, hold the weight halfway down for 20secs
ALWAYS end on the NEGATIVE(that is why you need a workout partner).

then stretch: lay on the flat bench with DBs hold them in a pressing motion and arch the back and swell the chest up ...as you exhale, let the elbows go closer to the floor...hold that for MINIMUM 1 MINUTE

well to tell you verything would take 8 hours or more. but here is a brief description for a chest workout. either incline smythe, hammer strength whatever, or a machine press or incline dumbbells (reps are higher 15-30)

warm up 2-4 light sets don't tire your self out then 1 rest pause set
7-11 repa 4 sec negative then explode up, after your last positive rep its a slow 5-7 sec negative. rack weight take 15 deep breaths then however many more reps, say 2-4, followed by 5-7 sec negative, 15 deep breaths then last set 1-2 reps followed by a static hold about 1/2 to 3/4s way off chest aiming for a 20 second hold. thene xtreme stretching of heavaiest dumbbells held in your hands in a flye position aiming for 60 seconds. then thats it.

he has diff rep ranges for exercises and bodyparts. example chest 11-15 rest pause, triceps can be 11-15 or 20-30 depnding on exercise. certain exercises are just straight sets as deadlifts bent rows, and squats don't allow rest pause well.

How much does it run? $$

[STEAK HELMET]

I have switched up to PHIL HERNONS training...he is a damn good guy and knows his shit...

I like them all DC, PHIL, and the variations taht come with their training.

Then I combine the 2 do PHIL's workout, DC stretching, and then a 20 sec pause at the end of the last set.

Good stuff
