Hi!
Today I'm starting my third cycle of DC training. On the 2nd cycle, weight and/or reps was up on almost every exercise. On only a few exercises, I stayed on the same weight/reps. Every one of those exercises were exercised I also used in my previous HIT-style routine. I did a Mentzer-type routine with pre-exhaustion on most exercises up until the Easter holidays, then started DC after Easter.
Also, I still have some trouble eating enough, and I expect my increases will be better when I get that sorted out. Just did some bulk shopping of meat & chicken
As I've seen recommended, I have started out doing only straight sets. I've also done only one set for legs and deadlifts.
Now, starting my third cycle, I was thinking that it's a good idea to add one rest-pause set for each exercise and see how that goes. Since I don't use enough weight on leg exercises to feel the need to wrap my knees just yet, I thought I'd rest-pause legs too. On deads I had a good increase in both weight and reps, and I'm being a little careful because of some back trouble, so I'll just stick with that one set for now.
Any thoughts? I'm doing the 3 days a week routine (mon-wed-fri or tue-thu-sat).
