Switched to DC 3 months ago on the 2 day split and very surprisingly, its had a very positive effect on my psoriatic arthritis joints.
I've had to limit some of the compound movements I use (eg heavy squats have a severe crushing effect on my shoulders) but otherwise chasing the log book and cycling the exercises has had a dramatic effect.
Most likely as I'm using a lot more heavy compound lifts rather than lighter, high rep, pump style. In PSa and RA patients stronger muscles helps stronger joints/tendons and lubrication. The drop in joint pain and inflammation means I use much less pain meds, to the point where I've been forgetting to use it recently.
Thank you Dante, as a seasoned lifter wish I'd taken this up years ago!
