Mythbusters: Dc Approved????

[KidRok]

It's been brought up time and time again so i thought I would take this opportunity to help dispel this myth......
Dante himself has stated that there is NO DC APPROVED EXERCISE LIST!
You may see some floating around in internet world but it was not a list created by Dante.
Now regarding the exercises you should use:
Are there exercises that are "better or more suited for" DC training? ABSOLUTELY!
But does this mean you cannot do a certain exercise if you feel very strongly that you need it? NO IT DOES NOT.
However, keep in mind you have limited opportunity to spur growth with basically only 3 exercises for each muscle group. Choose wisely...... big, basic, compounds are usually the best bet.

When choosing your exercises ask yourself these 3 questions:
1) Does this exercise adequately hit the intended target muscle?
2) Can I make progress in the amount of weight I can use on this particular exercise throughout the length of my blast?
3) Can I take this exercise to the required failure point in a relatively safe manner so that I improve my chances of remaining injury free (and others...lol)?
