Not quiteure Steve,I`ll have to go back and see how it`s laid out. Maybe Randy will know since he`s actually training DC style. I`m definately gonna` give it a shot myself this fall. Go to www.intensemuscle.com this is where DC and his trainees hang out and post about DC training and diet....a great board with tons of good info and serious people and no trolls.

At a quick glance. Deads can be done for one hard set of 6-10 and one BRUTAL set of 4-6 as with most back thickness exercises.
Do leg stretches after hams and quads are both done with

Calves are done DC style...
Oh, and you will need one more workout for each. 3 exercise rotation.

In 2 weeks i'll try DC myself! I want to give it a try because it's very close from my training philosophy of maximum intensity: Always past failure, always using rest-pause sets, taking notes for constant overload and the concept of relatively heavy sets.
The only thing i'll need to change from what i'm currently doing is lowering the volume to be able to work every muscle at a higher frequency! Now, if i do not wait between 5 and 8 days i'm just to sore to do it again!
But there is still somethings i'm not sure to understand with DC, i'll look for the answer but if someone knows... What dertermines the rep range? Or where can i find what DC trainers recommand? And if I am right, i must do 6 differents workouts with differents exercices and everyone of them? For exemple, Chest exercice on day 1 cant be the same than day 2 and 3...
Cant wait to try it for the begining of the off season training...

So I need to add another cycle with different exercises. not a problem, ill lay it out now. and as far as DC style for calves, how so? i was reading the article on the site and someone laid out the rep ranges, i must have misunderstood it. with the things that say (1 straight set 12) does that mean i only do 1 set, or is it like 3-4 warm ups then 1 set of 12?
confusing a little

Read, Read, and Read somemore. I read that thing for over a year. Calves are to be done for one set of 10-12 reps. Blast up , but take 15 seconds to reach stretch postition. Then blast up again.

You are correct Mo. 3 different exercises for each body part. Rep ranges will vary from person to person. The usual would be 12-15 RP reps, but can be more or less. Example Incl smith press. After warmups: 225 x 9, 6, 3 = 18 RP...

I cant believe you are going to give it a shot...... For some reason I didnt think that you would think highly of such low volume/ High frequency.

Randy... i'm not against high frequency... it's just that with the kind of workout i usually do, it cant be productive! So since last time we PM each other about it, i decided that AFTER the contest season (i thought it would be more secur), i would keep my training intensity as high (for now, i cant see how i would train differently) but lower the volume to increase the frequency!
If you have any recommandations Randy, feel free, i have a high repect for your knowledge and experience.

With your intensity and attention to detail, it should be a great fit. I am looking forward to training along side you. Wish I wasnt dieting. Its tuff while dieting.

Power cleans could probably be used for a straight set, but dont hold me to that. Abs. I just do 1 set to failure 2-3 times per week.

I have the same problem Mo does........I get sore as hell.
I was gonna` train everuthing twice weekly like I used to do years ago, DC training or othewise,but soreness prevented this.
Guess when I start,I`ll obviously cut volume down to DC`s recommendations.
Right now,I`m planning the diet from hell for the NABBA Nats....I know I can get ripped to shreds but the past few yearts I have been more conscience of not losing size.
Bodyweight be damned this time around.....even if it means tuna 6 times a day,I`m gonna` be sliced and diced,then I`ll start my DC stuff.
