Back to DC Training
So far this routine has been good to me, with a few exceptions. One, the leg workouts which include the Front Squats and Back Squats. Here is the problem that I have with the way this system is mapped out on leg days:
Calves and hamstrings are hit before your quads…ok I can see doing that on a day that you include the leg press, but on days you do squats are you f**king kidding me? If I have any beef with DC Training whatsoever, it’s this order of bodyparts. I don’t know about the others, but I think that Squats are FAR more important than the other exercises that take care of the hams and calves. Not saying that the others aren’t important, but you get what I’m saying. When I do squats in the very beginning of my workout, I’m nice and fresh and at my strongest. When I follow the DC order, by the time I get to them I’m pretty well spent. So I’m adjusting my taste buds on this order, whether it’s illegal or not in DC. Squats mean too much to me, and to get under that bar just to get destroyed because I’m too out of it is just obsurd.
Other than that though, DC is a good routine to jump into when you want to take a break from a really heavy and brutal routine such as Max-OT. I miss my Max-OT very much, but I’ve been at it for quite some time and it was getting to the point where my joints and tendons felt like they were about to just give. It really started to worry me, so DC was there to the rescue. The lower volume and higher reps are really a nice change up and a good breather from all the joint pain. I will be ready to jump back on Max-OT very soon, once I run this routine out for another couple months or so.
If I had to pick which routine I like better, I would go with Max-OT all the way. Max-OT is the one that got me to where I am now. Those are my random thoughts, I’m done, have a great holiday everyone, and train hard!!!
