Three days/week, monday, wednesday and friday

Use the three day a week layout. Unless you are an "advanced" lifter. If you have never run the system, don't mess with the 4 day a week program until you have used the 3 day a week program for at least a couple of years.

Well i believe DC training is for the "advanced" lifter......its designed for breaking plateaus, but i guess for a "novice" lifter 3 day would be good.....it all depends on how well you recover. Also stretching is very important with the doggcrapp regime.

Abolish if you would like some links to research DC training let me know.

Well, I suppose I'll do a modified version of the program. 4 days/wk if I can, but I know some wks will only be 3 days/wk due to my business and fucked up schedule. I've only done it a couple days so far and I feel great. I actually have more energy during the day and I'm not walking around feeling like I got my ass kicked all the time anymore. Thanks again guys!!

I'm well aware of that, but too many people thing since they've done all of the M&F and Men's Health workouts provided over the last couple of years, they are advanced enough to try the 4 day program. According to Dante (DC himself) there are very few people who he personally trains with the 4 day. As far as I know David Henry is one of the few. If you can handle the 4 day routine now, you are doing the 3 day program correctly.

Well I just finished another day on the program, and I love it. I feel strong as fuck, and I feel fully recovered before every workout too. I think if you put 110% into your set, then this style of training works extremely well. Especially if your not on juice, your body is given ample recovery time that a traditional 4-5 day routine may not allow for. So fuck it, I'm just sticking to the plan and eating like a monster. Off cycle until January, needed a break. I'll prolly get stronger doing this program than I was before even on juice.

how would this routine work while "on",

works VERY well while on or off cycle. Check out the links (esp. intensemuscle) and you can find examples of ppl Dogg has trained and whether or not they were on or off cycle.

Even people off cycle have made huge gains. It's not uncommon for his trainees to put on 40-60 lbs of muscle in 12 to 18/24 months, both natural and on gear.

If there is one thing about this routine that is spot on, having time to recover. Without the necessary recovery time no routine will work! That means cutting back on # of days training to 3 is freak in ideal, and next is the constant exercise rotation.
I have done a variation of DC in which I used exercise rotation and it works great, excellent gains in strength and mass. And yes, I do think that this routine or concept is best used for advanced ppl but intermediate can get some decent results as well.

3 days make sense to me but ive been able to recover fine on 4, how many weeks would you go for before taking the 2 week "cruise"?

If you recover well on 4 then that's fine, I usually go by how I feel and 3 days is good enough maybe 4 here and there. As for how many weeks before I take off it all depends how I feel and if I have any injuries...prob 6-8 weeks.

Then you aren't going full out on the 3 a day program. Sorry.

Well I train as far as I can without a partner, Any harder and i could definitely risk injuiry. I have a personal gym with only free weights, the gym is out of the question for me right now. I have been doing this regiment for about 7 weeks and I have had excellent gains so far. I guess I could give the 3 day a shot if thats what most people suggest, my strength gains have just been amazing so far.

If something is working don't change it.

When you get to where you can have a spotter then you can up the intensity even more.
