Finally tried DC Training

[Goldprospector]

DAMN!!! That is all I can say. I only did my first workout of Chest, Tri's, and Back...and still did not do it fully because of finding the correct amount of weights to use...But I worked out about 3 hours ago and I am already sore as hell...Tired beyond belief!

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WEDNESDAY!

Soreness doesn't indicate a good workout, unless the goal was to build lactate to flush the tissues.

DC is good though, I'll give it that. Be conservative - don't try for all RPs, statics and the whole nine yards right off.

I di not say anything about soreness being a good workout, I merely pointed out the fact that this workout kicked my ass.

Is DC that one set only type thing you know whatchamacallit?
?

Yeah, try it with straight sets to failure in the higher end of the rep ranges suggested first

Dropping into it fullbore destroyed me after a month, I'm only just recovering now.. a smarter approach is to tone down intensity so you can get the work in @ the maximal frequency possible.

Ala HST.

from what I've read about HST it's lacking compared to DC's format - the upper/lower split and rotating routines allow for more recovery training with heavier loads and less burnout than working the same lifts 3 x a week.

I am 45 and just now trying to go bacck to the two way split after a year and a half of DC using a three way spllit. I think I may just not have the recovery capacity for the two way even now as the last 4 workouts, especially today, has me dragging.

I am great with the three way split however and make continuous progress so ...

I wouldn't say it's lacking. From what I've seen, many more people (and a larger variety) have had greater success with HST than DC.

HST is about submaximal progression, so the burnout is really non-existant, except when you get to your post-5's and negatives (should you choose to go that route).

But hey, I prefer my own tailored training.
