DC's training- what am i doing wrong?

[DepressiveJuice]

started DC routine today and i feel cheated. i did one set with negatives in each rep.

incline bench 1X12
military press 1X10
tricep pulldowns 1X10
lat pulldown 1X12
bent over bb rows 1X12

and thats it. i was struggling on each rep but i still feel as if that was not enough. am i missing something?

That's DC training? What is the theory behind it? Looks pretty weak to me.

it takes some time to learn to develop the intensity needed....

rest pause sets and statics will kill you too.....

I'm assuming you read all the info on it.

Must...hold...back...

Well...explain why it's so good. I'm not a fan of it, personally.

Looks like we're going to get another 10 page thread.

Well, I would go so far as to say it's one of the best, most well-rounded programs created. Most trainees on the program experience some of the best strength and size gains of their life.

When you say you're not a fan of it personally, does that mean you've tried it? If not, tell me what strikes you as ineffective about the program.

Nope...haven't tried it. One set per body part just doesn't seem like enough of a stimulus for hypertrophy, or strength gain. I'd think about using that system for strength maintenance maybe.

Also, did you say that this system regularly implements negatives and isometric lifts?

I have to admit, i skimmed over the article...maybe i'll go back and read it in depth.
