DC question

[tkav1980]

ive been following dc for my first week which ended today. heres my questions. i have bad knee pain and before this id only squat up to 225 for 15 or so reps. friday was my first workout wiht legs on ur program. after everything i read about how intense you need to be i figured fuck it and put 315 on the bar, set the bars in the reck about 3 inches lower than where i bottom out on a deep squat, grabbed a spotter, and did a set 0f 13(thats when my legs gave out and i fell over) took my15 breaths and tried it again(only got 3 reps the second time before i fell, then puked). today for chest i did incline bench on a smith machine and when i failed(about 1/4 the way up onthe8th rep(first part of the rest pause set) with 295)there wasnt anything i could do about it crashing down on my chest, i took my breaths, got 5 before the same thing happened, then 2 the last time. im worried im not working hard enough for your program. when i do the restpause set, i go until i cant even hold a static at the end. but when i move on to lets say shoulders im feeling like "shit, that sucked. i know i could have done more" please let me know if you think im doing my job. if not ill just figure out how to do more. and thanks again for all the great advice guys.

You are supposed to rest between your 2 squat sets. 1 set of 8 heavy and 1 widowmaker.

rest pausing squats? I got no idea what your doing to be honest.

As DC alluded too, his program does not include rest pausing squats deads bb rows or any other exercise where you will be prone to injury.
that's why he included straight sets on leg movements and has a pretty little widowmaker set in there.

correct.

if you are going to squat till failure, do front squats, that way you can just bail it forward. if you are in a cage, pull it away from the mirror, so you don't break it.
