DC training

Can someone explain to me DC training. And if you are doing it what do you think.

The place for DC is Intense Muscle. You can either spend some time reading the stickies in the dogg pound there or go the fast track route and buy the Jason and Franco(bulldog21 DVD.

Oh and I absolutely love the training, not so much the eating haha, but it's forcing me to grow.

Just order the DVD. Thats what I did and I got all the info I needed except the diet part. I have yet to include DC training into my regimen but I have included DC stretching and that alone has caused me to get sore bodyparts that would never get sore in the past.

I am glad all you guys like it..Thanks Scott for posting the link!...Our objective was to make this an instructional DC training DVD.

The nutrition part we laid out the basics. After talking with Dante we didn't want to go into too much detail into how to structure a diet as everybody has different macronutrient and caloric needs.....

That was a horrible expirence and I can't believe Jason talked me into that...LOL.....Seriously it was funny as shit as I had a hard time even putting that stuff on let alone trying to keep a shred of seriousness when working out in it...LOL....

Like I said in the video It is VERY IMPORTANT to wear these man daisy dukes when performing stiff legged deadlifts and lying Hamstring curls....lol

Im 40 yrs old. Can I still benefit from it as well as someone younger?

Personally I like to throw them on and hop on the abductor machine, of course while going commando.

Dante has several guys around your age and older on the program. He had a thread where he suggested older trainees bump up there rep ranges from the norm of 11-15 to maybe 15-20 or 20-30 for certain exercises, other than that the training is the same.

I think I can best explain it like Franco once told me...."DC training is like making the mistake of biting into a grenade thinking its an apple, which is all fine and dandy, no worries at all, unless you pulled the stem off the apple first"

Basically its one mans war against a logbook, guys like Franco, Big Dave Smith and Dusty....they treat their logbooks like 2 bit trash in the gutter and laugh at its attempts at domination (I on the other hand sometimes get my ass handed to me on a silver platter with an apple in my mouth with some razzleberry dressing/garnish)

If your a sane individual that always likes to take the easy, safe, plan in the gym (basically stopping 3 reps short of failure on dumbell kickbacks and always thinking "I'll go a little bit harder next time or maybe the time after that") then DC training isnt for you.

If you walk in a gym and your mindset is basically two railroad ties and a boxcar short of a trainwreck......welcome

(I hope that makes it much clearer but it probably made it more muddled than ever....Im on very low carbs today)

If you are serious about putting on a ton of quality muscle and changing your look to the point of not being able to recognize yourself when looking in the mirror then DC is the way to go. I can't even put to words all the Dante and his program have done for me but when I hit the stage late in the year I think you will see what I am talking about. I have gained more quality size working with Dante and DC over the last few months than I did all last year. This training method is truly amazing if you follow it to the T along with the nutrition.

Thanks Dante

Haha I'm on low carbs today too. I've only had around 350g so far

not to take anything away from dante...

but i think the success lies in the belief in the program. and also, his high protein diet. in fact, i think thats the mian reason why people do so well. diet is the most important part of boybuilding. period. if you go from 300 g of protein to 500 g of protien your going to start growing faster.

whether or not two short growth sessions per week are better tyhan one big growth session per week is more beneficial? ehhh. its a theory, and its not backed by SCIENCE of how muscles atrophy. but it seems to work. so if you like it, believe in it, and are dedicated with it..youll gain just as much as on any program. even more, if you didnt have the diet in line before hand.

(And by the way... i have heard before "you can train hard, or you can train long", and " you can tap on a nail all day long or you can strike it once with a hammer"... but those are both complete bullshit. you can train hard and long. and you can hit that nail with a hammer several times. you just need more recovery time.)

I'm glad that you have thought a lot about this but I think you would benefit if you try it. I had very good success on a high volume program for years. In fact I got to 280lbs on my own and in decent condition but after starting with Dante and DC I weighed in this morning at 298lbs and lower bodyfat. Also my look is completely different and I have much improved strength and flexibility. On top of all of that my body feels great because everything is done in a controlled fashion. If you doubt the program at all though don't even start it because if you can't give it 110% then you aren't training DC. He doesn't try to sell people on the program, in fact I had to pester Dante to death to take me as a client before he stopped working with athletes. To each his own and to be honest I hope that all my competition this year doubt DC. It will just make winning easier.

no man, i have trained dc before.. basically train dc, but instead of limiting my volume on each bodypart,i like to do traingin with a sort of like a dorian style of intensity, with a cutler kind of volume..

also...guys like mentzer and dc fail to realize that ittakes a period of high volume in order to benefit from a period of high intensity, and after a while, you will benefit from switching back over to high volume, and then back to high intensity...ect.. there is no one best way to train, IMO.

and this isnt even addressing the scientific view on hwo to stimulate muscle atrophy

More recovery time being the number of days in between training the bodypart right? I mean that is the only way to increase recovery time..

If that is the case then I would rather hit the shit out of the nail once and be able to come back a couple of days later to do it again rather than to hit it all day long, wait a week or so and do it again so if you were to measure my "hit the shit out of the nail" training sessions at 70-80 times a year to your 52 times "hitting it all day long" I would choose to strike the shit out of it...
