The fundamental principles of DC training include:

Incredibly heavy weights
Multi-rep rest pausing
Low volume with higher frequency
Extreme stretching
Carb cutoffs
Low intensity cardio
High protein intake
Blasting and cruising phases

i like to mix my training.

some days i do HIT training, some days i do volume and sometimes i do really heavy low reps.

i think a mix is best for me

I could not agree more.

For the last 6 weeks I have been doing pyramid sets and for each exercise I do 15,12,10,8 reps getting the best of both worlds. The first 2 sets I consider more warm up sets around 80% of maximum weight. The second 2 sets are high intensity. It works quite well.

After 6 weeks I mix it up and will now try high reps, barely any rest time to shock my body and also help shift some BF.

used to love 5 days on and then off for the weekend but that was before I moved out... now I'm lucky if there's time for 3 sessions a week. i hate the real world at times

I am a big fan of highly periodised training or contrast training.

I think a big issue with people no longer making gains is that they stick to the same sort of training for years and years, maybe changing up a few exercises, might try changing the rep range or doing drop sets or super sets for a week or two, or your train HEAVIER or you train MORE.

That's barely scratching the surface as far as training goes, and a few things like training heavier and more is all too often a recipe for disaster, and may even reverse any gains.

You can tell by this poll people are trapped in the 'Weider Principles' of training.

It really is more about training smart.

I love circuit training, incorporating big compound exercises with plyometrics and kettlebells
