Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I started DC earlier this summer and it has worked great. I was on gear when I began and when I came off my strength stayed the same for 2 weeks but as I transitioned to more of a bulking diet my weights are going up again. Ive hit 200 pounds for the 1st time in my life and Im still gaining naturally with minimal fat gain. I couldnt have asked for better results. Definitely worth a try for the skeptics bc I was one of them but figured I had nothing to lose.
DC training

Great to hear, IJ!
I love DC training, too. The only thing I've considered changing, if you could call it a change, is adding a rest day between some of the workouts.
I've found that when I train 3 times w/ only a single rest day between workouts (Sun., Tues., Thurs., for instance), that Thurs. session suffers just a little. However, if for some reason I put it off until Friday, things would go much smoother.
What I'd like to try is something like this:
Tues--day 1
Wed--off
Thurs--day 2
Fri and Sat--off
Sun--day 1
Mon--off
Tues--day 2
Wed and Thurs.--off
Basically, it's 1 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off. That sounds like playing with a light switch
LOL.The hard leg workouts really take it out of me. I still don't feel I'm out of the hole from Sunday's bout, but I trained today anyway and had a somewhat rough time (3rd hard workout in 5 days). I set PRs but barely, and I'm somewhat "fresh" from a 2.5 week period of training lighter so I shouldn't be feeling quite so beaten up yet.
I just don't like lowering the frequency
That's kind of a bummer, but I honestly think 'til I'm training...err, "assisted" again the extra bit of rest would help my lifts go up. After all, if they're stagnant, I ain't going anywhere, anyway.
