DC Growth Vs. Volume

101101 · 04-25-2005, 01:55 AM

Dante gave the example of volume training.. saying that each workout makes your chest grow a hypothetical 1/64th inch... 1 year that = 52/64 inch gain, which isn't bad -- but he's saying that with his method you get 130 growth phases.. but this is also assuming they're still 1/64th inch growth each time you do it, which accounts for his theoretical 2.5x the growth rate of a volume trainer

But if you grow that much w/ volume training, and need a weeks rest, verses you're putting the muscle under the same stress to get equal growth, how come you only have to wait.. 3 days between workouts like you do in DC before you would do chest again?

Yeah if it was more than 3 days a week i would be dead.

That was close but I re-read some of Dante's posts again and I think my question is answered. The reason for the 7 day recovery period is because of the high volume -- whereas the intensity is so high compared to high volume training no more sets are needed.

I love saying this, "When you think of more, think of weight on the bar not more exercises in your repertoire, haha"

Nuff said right their bro. That one working set that I do for chest, for example, completely kills my chest. The workouts are compact, yet intense and you hit those muscles again sooner than most people do with regular volume training. I haven't been doing DC that long, but so far I really like it and it is kicking my butt bigtime.
