leg day

If you are doing DC training, is doing 9 sets of squats, even though working up to one all out set the way to do it?

When I did DC this is the problem I had. Once you get very strong (200kg plus squat for 8-10 reps) you have to warm up throughly and this is very time consuming.

What I'm doing with squats isn't really "DC style". I'm doing the sets of 5 to get in more volume and "practice" with heavier weights. It also acts as a pre-exhaust.
Squats are great but personally I find that it's rarely leg fatigue that ends a set - it's my stability/balance, breathing, or lower back. For real leg fatigue, I think you're better off with a machine like a leg press or hack squat.

Good job.

I somehow posted my reply onto your "back training" thread. Sorry about that.

Like your rep tempo, breathing b/w reps and that you did right at 2x your body weight for 5 reps.

Constant Tension...

What's impressive is that if you look closely, when Shelby gets to the top, he pauses for a brief second BUT doesn't lock out, his knee's are still slightly bent keeping constant tension on the muscle... I just started trying that myself (though with considerably less weight ) it's HARD. Good job.

It's a great technique in my opinion.

I finally got my training partner to do it with leg training and he was really pleased with the pain

No pain no gain After doing heavy leg workout and walking out the gym, hard to walk down those bloody stairs and legs feel wobbly. Love the pain
