how many times I have to bite my lip on other boards you would laugh. Whenever I see someone complain or overanalyze this stuff to the earths end (like simple things like breathing during the negative-------gee whiz guy, how bout taking a very deep breath of air on the negative and blowing it out forcibly on the positive---its really not that hard)
Or the constant complaining like "christ i used to incline press (*yea with a 8 inch bounce and your partner pulling up 40lbs of it) 225x6 and now with controlling the descent I was only able to do 185 x 8 first time out---well shucks Bucky welcome to the world of lifting correctly to actually gain muscle mass. Guess what? Im going to make you so strong in such a short time that your old poundages will be a distant memory and even better you're training partner wont be getting bigger biceps spotting you and you wont be cheating your ass off doing it.
So many times after these posts i start typing "this type of training is not for you, do something else" or "take up checkers as you dont have to be hardcore in that sport" and I end up deleting it due to being PC.
FH coined the phrase "clusterfuck" training and I have to just sit back and laugh when I see that post on bodybuilding.com "MY 5x5, HST, DFT, DFST, DC, Westside Hybrid" .....Huh? 6 months down the road how the hell do you know what actually worked and what didnt? Talk about overanalyzing your buck 63 ass off. The one way ticket to being a shit bodybuilder is chronic "overanalyzing and wondering if what your doing is right" so much so that you change/switch it up constantly and "never find out what truly is actually working" .....the absolutely best statements concerning DC training werent said by myself, they were said by Massive G. This type of training isnt for newbies, its not for rookies, its for people that have tried numerous ways, know their body very well, that dont have that "false sense of intensity" that alot of 2-3 year lifters have, and it just makes sense to them after reading through it all.
Id much rather train a 200lb guy who is going to go at this 100% because he hasnt been able to get there "his way", so he is going to do everything I say to the tee.........than some 220lb guy who saw some pics online of someone I train and feels that he has to get on the bandwagon or he could be missing the boat yet is still mixed up inside in the bodybuilding route he should go. The suckiest thing about training bodybuilders for myself is having to debrainwash people and get them away from that Flex magazine "old school, spindle training, isolating the outer quadrant of section B of the pectoral with incline flyes (pinky twist), always changing exercises each workout to keep the body off balance-BULLSHIT. Which alot of times was written by a guy who is 45 and has been lifting for 25 years yet never made it over 177lbs. Always changing exercises? How many incredible mass exercises are there for quads? Five to Eight? Hacks, Leg press, Squats, and maybe lunges with a barbell on your back and then slight variations of each? They make it sound like you have 165 to choose from. If you squat 385 for 8 today and then change things up for the next 2.5 months with hacks and leg presses, one leg leg presses, lunges, front squats etc etc and then go back to a squat and get 380 x 8, have you gained anything? NO YOU JUST WASTED A FREAKING LEG WORKOUT PRETTY MUCH. If for the next 6 years you periodically squat lets say 30 times (5 times a year) and your constantly in the 370 to 390 range for 7-9 reps, are your legs going to be much larger? You sure as hell changed things up alot though, even though your quads havent gained crap. The point Im trying to get across is this "You can crap chicken into a bucket, it doesnt mean your Colonel Sanders" (Ok nevermind, I have no idea what that means, Im just very hungry and need to eat and I couldnt think of a way to end this rant in a cool way)

So I hope you can find some time for it but I understand it if you cant find time to write the articles.
