Thanks. Sounds interesting. I will look into it and may give it a try to see how it works for me.

Well, once is after work and my wife is at work and the other is on the way to work and my wife is at work And I pay attention as much as I can when training so I don't overtrain. If I feel worn then i'll just work some abs or do a lot of stretches or hit some exercises that I missed before due to time etc.

So your working chest 2x a week how is that going or have you been doing that for a while I used to do 2x a week than switched to 1x a week for each bodypart. weird thing is on 2x a week my weight/reps would go up quicker but not my max lifts. like on Bench I could do 3x6 at a higher weight quicker but my Max stayed stagnant for longer periods?

[Beelzebub]

been doing it since october-ish this past year. not a typical program though, one exercise per bodypart, most popularly (sp?) known as DC training.

OH ok i have read a couple articles on DC training. Thanks for the reply

DC training? Sounds like an off-shoot of Mentzer/Yates type training, I'll have to study up on it. Beelzebub are familar with those and is it close or something completely different.

Well, it's similar to heavy duty in the sense that it is very intense and brief but that's about where it ends. DC preaches very intense training for very low volume so that frequency can be high. Herein lies the key difference. Mentzer kinda went off the deep end when in came to frequency and DC kinda picked up the pieces.

Aaah, thanks, I always hated Heavy Duty, and I doubt I would respond well to this either, I'm a volume kinda guy. But sounds interesting I'll have to read up on it. Never can know too much!

Since I've become so 'anti-bodybuilding' and by that I mean the 1-2 body part training days (not the nutrition aspect). I refuse to assign myself to any sort of split, school/work wouldn't allow anyway. All you need is 3 solid days in my book and a 7 solid diet days. Stay active in the other days if possible.

I've a got a broken leg and a 36 inch waist so what do i know these days?

[kwyckemynd00]

4 days suits me perfect...3 is good too, so I'm with ya. No need to be in there 5-6days/wk. that just sucks.

[Achilles13]

Usually 4 to 5 days here. Training has been max-ot style. May switch up to DC in a few weeks though.

[kwyckemynd00]

IMO, with low volume stuff like DC I notice my small bodyparts like arms and shoulders tend to lag. Keep that in mind when you start.

I know its against the rules but I do about 4-6 sets of each bodypart every workout (straight set usually, some rest pause) and I do the MTu ThF routine and I have no problem with recovery. I bring it up just to keep in mind if you're not seeing size increases in certain areas. For the big bodyparts, low volume high frequency really kicks ass. But, i think (opposite of the thoughts of many, including bobo) that low volume on arms and shoulders is a mistake and from my experience it is hyped up too much.

[BUCKNUTS]

4 days a week,I work three days a week 12 1/2 hours each day and have 4 days off each week. I only workout on my off days which works out great.
