Definitely.
Dante's Rest Pause is the single most effective technique I have ever used and still use (as I get older and the joints get pounded more) the higher rep range end of DC rest pausing is a savior.
It's the perfect rep range and method for developing a lot of mass and progression in strength.

That's why I'll get ticked off when people comment about his system being *nothing new* or *nothing special* it is simply revolutionary and helped thousands gain immeasurable amounts of lean muscle tissue and raw strength beyond their expectations. I always say "Dante could turn a broomstick into a redwood" and that's a fact.

I also want to say part of my reason for not rotating exercises is the amount of strength built up over the years I am no Ronnie slinging 200 lbs bells around but when you expend so much energy getting 130 and 150 lb dumbells in position as well as having tweaks and aches and pains it just aggravates everything. And I have tried them all...powerhooks...dumbell stands...and 2 training partners... I will use dumbells and machines to warm up or do widowmakers though.

and agree 100% on the eating big....we know the story on that..perhaps I'll start a thread on dieting for mass on here in a separate thread which is a mix of supplements and whole foods.

That would be interesting and appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: just realised when this thread is from! very interesting and inoformative anyway!! Thanks.

couldnt disagree more.
i am shoulder dominant lifter and inclines do NOTHING for my chest at all. Like Phidias said, inclines do work the front delts well tho.

do what works for you. Just out of curiosity could you list your max lifts on bench and incline bench.

my thoughts??? well with advanced individuals i believe you have to hit the muscle from different angles, and this may include excersises that you would probably normally not do. I know mountaindog1 had touched upon this subject before, you have to really get creative with your workouts the more advanced you get. You can still DC train but you may need to change up the excersises and get a lil creative with your selection.
I also am a fan of mixing up your training style, intensity, and volume every now and then... if nothing else it keeps me fresh and from being bored to death.

So, after DC'ing for a while, what sort of training style or routine, (e.g. how much volume) do you go to in order to mix things up, stay fresh?
Thanks.

I am going out of town this weekend for some much needed rest and relaxation, but when i get back early next week I want to post another thread "advanced size" which touches on something else that DC figured out a long time ago and that has been the emphasis on my offseason this year.

I also want everyone to closely read phil hernon's reply in this thread cause I think it was a really good one that nailed some of my past mistakes right on. You will eventually have to change something cause you just can't keep getting stronger and stronger forever. I am at that crossroad that I had to do something else to stimulate more growth, and i will explain the route that i am trying to take (once again something that DC figured out a long time ago).

Bump for B-boy.. Always interested in your thoughts on things..
