I'm going to be a DoggCrapp drop out

I'm just curious as to what went wrong. I don't feel that's fair because now a lot of people see this and might think "oh gee my CNS might not recover"

How could you possibly overtax your CNS with only 5 sets? He was just talking about german volume training! 10x10 deads, apparently that wouldn't overdo it!

It's not "fair"?! lol Wouldn't want any "disbelievers", right? Now, have some Kool-aid, Jim Jones.

I just explained why to the other fellow asking questions. Look there if you like.

What exactly were these outside forces contributing to your CNS being overworked? If an outside influence is marring your training, then you shouldn't blame the training. That's like saying you run 40 miles a week and your training isn't letting you put on mass.

Sarin.







Just kidding.

I have an overly potent neural response to stressors. I can get a fight or flight reaction going from things much lesser than normal. Also, that can manifest itself as some kind of anxiety. There's more to this, too, and some parts of it have benefits (I tend to be able to generate more strength at will), but all that remains is minutia.

I exist in this state as I am. I don't impose it. Therefore, the training is not fit for me. Failure, really. Not any other part of the routine.

Failure is a waste of CNS recovery.

This sucks. I really wanted to try DC training... but my schedule is so hectic I can't follow the workout/rest cycle with any accuracy.

I had never thought about it before... but I have a lot of flexibility in my old training style. If I have meetings... I can do legs on Monday instead of Sunday... etc...

DC is for people who can keep a schedule.

I am not going to turn into DC Jehovah's WItness but one of the aspects I like about it is the flexibility. If once in a while something comes up on Monday, I move that days workout to SUnday. If I am exhausted on Friday, maybe I bounce that days workout to Saturday.

I found my old 4 day split much less flexible

In terms of flexibility. . . I think DC training meets this criteria.

For example, you may be busy with something else on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, so why not train on Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday?

I think the important thing is to follow high intensity techniques, stretching, and diet. . .they are all crucial elements in the DC program.
