HIT vs. DC

[curls-for-girls]

What are some of the big differances between Mike Mentzers HIT or Heavy duty training and the DC style trainning? they seem fairly similar to me.
Anyone use either of these styes?

Right now Im doing a modified HIT routine.

mon- legs and abs
tues-off
wed-chest back
thurs-off
fri-arms and delts
sat-off
sun-off

pretty low volume kinda like DC style (high intesity present)

what do you guys think? to much rest? anyone use a similar routien?

The main difference IMO is that DC emphasises:
Multiple failures
Negatives
Statics
Extreme Stretching
Extreme Eating
High-Frequency
Cardio

youre right. Mentzer preaches 1 set of both positive and negitive failure per body part. how many sets to failure does DC style call for per body part?

One working set, but often 3 failure points, ie:
8 reps - fail
15 breaths
3 reps - fail
15 breats
2 reps -fail
