So what do you guys think of dc training ?? Any pros and cons wth this that I should now??
 
Its a bunch of dogg crap if you ask me....
 
I've never tried it, but from what I've seen it seems to be a viable option. I would give it a shot. How long have you been lifting? Most of what I've read suggests you should have a couple years under your belt if you are going to try it. It really pushes the intensity.

2years for rugby and 3years as a competative bodybuildr,,, but yeah ive heard it , they say its close to dorian yates way of training (few sets high intensity)
 
I was reading this review of a guy that actually lost muscle mass after a year of dogg training. So not that sold on it..

Ive also heard of guys getting injured , but also seen solid gains so im lost

Well people get injured all types of training methods, even I goofed up on a deadlift while running 5/3/1, it wasn't anything bad but it made lat pulldowns uncomfortable for over a month.
 
I did dc training for a year or so.....ended up with tons of small injures although I did neglect the streaching portion of the program.....if you do it I'd say do plenty of mobility work and stay away from the machine movements he recommends I found heavy pressing on the smith and hammer machines ****ed my shoulders up big time
 
DC and R/P training have provided my largest gains in strength and mass. I will always have them in rotation.

True enough, I'm liking it though. Hybrid lifting is the best IMO, it builds dense muscle tissue and increase size.. I don't know all the terms for it on the top of my head lol

Can you lay it out for us? I am curious what you are doing because I've run both many times and I can't see the hybrid.

Well I'm doing a log and I have it in there. I do bench and squat 10x10 on Sunday and I add on accessory work at 3 sets of 10. Monday is deadlift and overhead press 10x10 with accessory work at 3 sets of 10. Wednesday is 531 for squat and bench and accessory work at 3 sets of 10. Friday is 531 deadlift and overhead press with added on 3 sets of 10. So eventually I'd like to get accessory work to 5 sets of 10, so each week my accessory work will equal 10x10 and not 6x10. I try to add weight each workout to each of the movements, for progression, but I go up each set instead of changing the weight for the all the sets.

For a better understanding check out my current log in cycle info.

JESUS! :11:
 
You are doing GVT and 5/3/1 on a deficit? Have you thought this through or just throwing things together?

I enjoyed 531 and have done GVT before also enjoying it. So thought I could put them together as I loved both systems and thought I could maintain my strength with one and hypertrophy with the other. I didn't cut cals by much and really just testing the waters with this. I'm on cycle as well.
 
Being on cycle definitely is the wild card here as GVT is a mass program and 5/3/1 a strength, so cutting calories is detrimental to both. Perhaps the cycle can make up for that.

Yeah I will probably up the calories after losing some more bf% and go for a lean bulk/recomp. Just trying to see how it works out.

Looks like a killer version of PHAT.
 
DC is a good protocol, it is not for beginners. If you have the balls to put everything you have into every lift, you will grow. Again, not for beginners
