After having followed DC training for the last 8 weeks i'm am now approaching my threshold and am going to take the 2 week cruise. The results of the program have been awesome, but i feel the need for a little change. After reading up a bit about a 5x5 Bill Starr routine I have thus decided to embark on an eclectic/hybrid program consisting of both DC and 5x5. The 5x5 will be used for larger body parts and DC for smaller ones. Take a look.
Mon
Bench 5x5 1x8 (Back off set)
OHP (BB) 5x5
CG Bench 1 rp set
Pulldown or Pullup 6x6 (cumulative fatigue)
Bent Rows 5x5 1x8
Wed
BB Curls 1 rp set
Reverse preacher curls 1 straight set x15
Leg press calf 1 straight set 5 sec down 15 sec stretch x12
lying leg curl 1 rp set
Squat 1x5, 1x20 (essentially 5x5 w/warmups w/2 worksets)
Fri
Incline Bench 5x5 1x8
OHP (Db) 5x5
Dips 1 rp set
Pulldown or Pullup 6x6 (cumulative fatigue)
Deadlifts 1x5. 1x20 (same idea as squats)
Mon
Inlcine curl 1 rp set
Standing reverse curls 1 straight set x15
Donkey raises 1 straight set 5 sec down 15 sec stretch x12
RDL 2x8
Leg Press 1x5, 1x20 (same as squats and deadlifts)
Accessory exercises: Neck work, side bends, abs, back extentions and rotator work. Stretching the body parts after working them as well.
I know its neither truly Bill Starr or DC training but I wanted to combine both philosiphies, DC-frequency, abbreviation, stretching and 5x5-Power on the key lifts, and a break from the rest-pauses for the big body parts. Let me know what you think, thanks.
