DC method users. What are your thoughts?

I took last week off and tomorrow(monday) I plan to get back into the gym. I know a lot of you started the DC workout in the past few weeks and I wanted to know what you guys think. From what I have gathered the early reports are positive. I really had great results on the 5x5 and I don't want to abandon it, but this method seems very interesting. Anyways, I just wanted to get everyones thoughts. Thanks.
 
So far I am really impressed!! I have trained for several years, but this is different. It makes me feel like I am learning how to workout again. I plan to stick with this for a while. I cannot list my results since I just started. I will be sure to keep people posted.

Thanks Louden. As I suggested earlier we should start a seperate results thread, since it seems like a lot of people are trying this and many others are interested in the results.
 
I'm currently gaining 2-3 lbs a week on it, a small margin (1/4 or so probably) of it being fat. Guys who are stricter following his diet recommendations will do better (get leaner or add less fat)
 
i start tomorrow. i have my template all made up in excel. i set it up to work for 6 days of working out, with a M W F scheme. so that works out to a 2 week per page schedule. i have alot of room on the bottom for comments, notes etc.

food intake....ugh! getting up near 400 gms is gonna be interesting, but probably possible. since dabbling with the program this past week, i could tell how i would need the protein for recovery as it took me a while to recover. (unusual for me)

i take full measurements tomorrow: bodyfat, weight, circumference etc.

i have high hopes for this, since its a different approach.
 
my first post, just wanted to thank DC for the detailed posts. i've been reading the forums for a few months but never had anything worth posting so i never registered. i have been working out for 5 years, started out at 5'8 115lbs. thru trial and errors, i somehow managed to get up to 175lbs but that took long enough. i tried DC's suggested routine last week and i have to say i'm impressed. at first i thought "bull shiiit one set wont be enough to get a good pump or damage enough muscle fibers to stimulate growth". But i was wrong. I've done two DC workouts, always did one set each muscle and so far i have to say i've been VERY VERY sored all over from head to toes, and i dont get sored very often. It sounds easy on paper, but its brutal to do one all-out set with all the rest pausing. I also thought that i would lose my striatrions and lines cuz of the low number of sets, but i was wrong again. After my biceps work out doing one all-out set with super-heavy weight, i came home looked in the mirror and i saw something that put a smile on my face: a deep carve between my two bicep heads. I haven't seen that deep carve in years, years of doing endless sets of biceps. Now after ONE SET, i suddenly have that deep carve again. Amazing! I think poeple should try this program out, even if its just for a change-up from ur regular routine. There is only one difference between a successful DC method user and a failing DC method user: dedication. When u reach that last failure negative lifting the heaviest weight ever, are you mentally strong enough to will out one more rep? That makes all the difference. If u say no, then u best stick to the regular conventional way of lifting cuz ur wasting ur time with DC's method.

I've done a few DC style workouts...calves, chest, back...man they are tough! The extreme stretches are pretty intense but I really like the program so far. I've been tracking my weights since mid December, so I'll have something to compare strengthwise.

This is fun! :D
