Ommmm......you thought outside the BOX!

I've found that when I know that there's only one hard set to do I push myself farther, so I bump the weight 5 [upper] to 10 or 20 [lower] lbs. It's easy. I have not been doing the stretching tho. The eating part, yes

I have no idea where Spatts got that 1-2lb thing either. Thats not my methods. Most people I train are throwing on 5 to 10LB plates on each side of the bar every time that exercise comes up again. At the very least a 2.5lb plate. And alot are throwing 25lb plates on each side of the bar on leg exercises. So I dont know where that 1-2lb thing came from. but my guess is with me saying "people are averaging almost 1LB per workout that i personally train"--thats BODYWEIGHT not training weights. Most of my trainees are gaining 14-32lbs in 2 months at the same bodyfat. Thats 24 workouts. So the average gain is 18-24lbs divided by 24 workouts=1LB or slightly less. These are the people i personally train who I have eating a certain way ....Spiderwoman good luck with your gains--I implore you to try to do the stretching as its a big part of recuperation, and fascia concepts (ok ok i just wanted to use the word "implore" in a sentence)

Hehe...I was wondering how long it would take you to make it over here.

Thanks!

You have my favorite DC zealot from training to thank for the linear periodization concept.

So for the bench press, if you can do 150 pounds for six reps and would fail to get number seven, that's the correct weight. For the grip work, use a weight that you could hold for 65 seconds. Now, on the squat and deadlift, add two pounds per week. On everything else, add one pound (yes, just one little pound)."

If this is NOT how your progression theories work, then that's all the more reason why it makes sense that DC training is yielding results.

Yep...sounds like me!

DC, I thought your program was "mass monster's" dream...not quite what I'm looking for, but I really like the style! And those stretches are no joke and not for the faint at heart! Ouch...hurts so good!

alright baby, you know you wont grow, unless you eat for it. if you are just training DC style, and stretching DC style....you will yeild just the strength/recovery gains at best. the food portion will help recovery and allow for growth. if someone is eating to grow, then the stimulus is through training, if there arent sufficient calories, gains in size will definitely be lessened if not nonexistent. (like the bulk of gym members training like animals, but not eating for their goal)

Spatts I was talking about a John Christy routine, I stated upfront that that guy was not ready for DC training.
