Has anyone tried the DC training principles. I am trying it right now and it is basically HIT with all the stretches they have always talked about on this site. If you have tried it what are your results?
A shame nobody replied to this! I’ve just been reading a bit about this training method and it looks interesting. I’ve just started a new workout cycle, which I’ll stick to for the next 8 weeks, so won’t have a chance to try it out just yet.
Anyone out there given it a go? Want to give us a brief report?
if you go to DC’s website you’ll find a few stickies that explain the fundamentals of his system. he’s really only got two…
- eat. calorie surplus. sumos have more absolute lean mass than any other humans alive because they eat a shitload and do next to nothing. they dont train well or at all (except sport-specificity) either.
food is the only thing that is hypertrophy specific. a lifting program developed by God would do nothing for hypertrophy when in calorie deficit.
- eccentrics. lowering the weight slowly. this is not nearly as important as eating, but it is the method of lifting that has the most carry over potential to hypertrophy.
DC training may be a good way to train, but keep in mind that his results are 80% (arbitrary number, i know) food. not to mention that when drugs are used it changes everything.
also, this topic was discussed a couple months ago, search for it. i would, but i got firewalls.
I’ve done it, and is by far the best training program I’ve ever been on. I gained more muscle mass doing it and my strength gains were incredible.
With this type of program you can do it for long periods of time since it takes two weeks for you to complete the first cycle. Usually I am sore when I start a new program for the first few workouts, but with this I found myself sore for weeks and weeks.
Once I did DC training, I found the programs to follow seemed easier since I had conditioned myself better. It forces you to beat your rep or weight each time you walk into the gym so you know you are making progress.
Plus it isn’t near as time consuming…so you walk out of the gym quicker and feeling as if you have had your butt kicked (if you put all of your heart into it).
His site gives tons of helpful info and details.
Wow, total misrepresentation. Please do a little more research before posting abbreviated fundamentals regarding the man’s training system that do it no justice. Not meant to be a personal attack, but its a bit more than just eating a lot and slow eccentrics, a LOT more. It’s the synergistic effect(the individual parts i cannot divulge) that renders this program so effective, not just controlled eccentrics and eating, which any lifter should practice. It is not the best program for everybody, as beginners have a difficult time getting through the workouts, so generally, if you have any less than 3 years training experience, it’s not for you.
To the original poster, no it is not HIT with stretches or a HIT derivative. I am currently being trained by DC, so I cannot devulge any information regarding his program, but if you venture to a few other sites and do a search you’ll find some information, although only the basic template is available on the net, and only a very small portion of his eating recommendations can be found on the net. (Any information found on his dietary recommendations are most likely erroneous or 4-5 years old, so don’t go by them.) The training material you find may be accurate depending on the source, but since we are not allowed to post links to other message boards you’ll have to search for it, but you won’t find any information on T-Mag regarding DC training, I can guarantee that. PM me if you would like a link to his forum.

how can we even discuss DC Training due to the fact that only two individuals on the planet are qualified to teach it?
the synergistic effect is what makes any training effective.
im not wrong about the statements about eating.
obviously, i made it seem like i was nutshelling DC Training. i apologize. i was giving perspective.
what research would you like me to do? hire DC or Inhuman and learn about their secrets? or understand “DC Training” as it pertains to the internet? the former is mysterious and the latter is nothing new.
No big deal, just pointing out the fact that your nutshell wasn’t very big 
The eating part you are correct, but the example of the sumos made it seem like that the entire dietary philosophy is to eat like a sumo wrestler and not a bodybuilder.
Didn’t want the poor guy to get the wrong idea about the program and go off and do nothing but slow eccentrics and eat like a sumo wrestler and complain that DC training didn’t work for him, because I find that many guys fall into this trap(not referring to you)…they’ll spend 2 days researching a methodology and then jump into the program half-cocked and then exclaim that it didn’t work.
glad to see we haven’t gotten in an argument.
actually, i was quoting DC with the sumo analogy. if memory serves correctly, DC’s said the best way to get hyooge and ripped is to bulk up to 300 then cut.
ditto on how people misunderstand methodologies then apply half-cocked and dont get results and blame the method they didn’t think they misunderstood.
since im the kinda guy who thinks that there aint much new under the sun i think DC Training is good and being personally trained by DC or Inhuman is way better. but, IMO, “internet DC Training” is no better than “internet Waterbury Training” or “internet Francis Training.” they all get great results because they all have the same foundations (when applied to trainees with the same goals).
