Not necessarily. In fact I think Professor X is just the type of guy, physique wise, that Dante loves to work with. That doesn’t mean he should do it, but the fact that somebody is already superlatively large does not make them less a potential candidate. From what I remember reading anyway.

Dude, there are pro-bodybuilders who when performing multiple sets “ramp” the weight and there are also many who use the same load for multiple sets. Seeing how both ways are successfully used I think it’s fair for inexperienced guys to ask for clarification when they try to follow the advice of more experienced posters.

I guess I have to watch all of my bodybuilding dvds again, because I don’t remember any pro bber doing straight sets for movements that required any amount of serious weight?

Sure, he works with guys like Dusty Hanshaw after all. I was thinking more along the lines of going on the DC standard two-way alone, and that not making much sense if you’re already very big and still improving. Who wouldn’t want to work with such a successful coach as Trudel if you’re going into a contest.

I mean I’ve read some pieces by him where he’s talking generally about how much he enjoys taking really big guys who already know what they’re doing to the next level. A level they might not even know they had. The difference between him and a lot of other guys is he delivers a pretty fair amount of the time.
Again, I’m not saying Professor X is one of those people, but it sounded like you were saying that Dante doesn’t think DC is for guys who are already big. Speaking of Dante, regardless of what somebody exactly thinks of DC, that guy has a 2 handed iron grip on the enterprise of building muscle. It is not theory for him.

Another term I find people have been incorrectly using is “straight sets”. Apparently it now means using the same weight for all your sets.
I don’t know… but I’m pretty sure to common gym rats “straight sets” means that you do not alternate an exercise with any others.

People need to log off once in a while, most gyms I’ve been to straight sets stil means that. DC isn’t overhyped the OP has just been on his website too long. He would think Louis was overhyped if he stayed there and T-Nation well details are overhyped.
T-Nation is kind of like weed you just want to think of random dumb shit and think you invented something or found a detail no one else did.

It would be fun to see, that’s for sure:)
It would.
There’s nobody around here who’s views on weight training I value more than the Doc. I hear he can fix your teeth pretty good too. And with no functional training yet.
I do bet though that he and Dante would either really hit it off or end up poundin the hell outta each other =]
Coupla strong personalities there.
