I recently converted to DC and today was quad, hammy, bi, forearm day. It was also squat day. I've never done anything this intense, and I clearly why I see they do not reccommend it to anyone who's been training less than 3 years (I've been training 4). I immediately decided to push myself to the limit and set my set of 6 for 300. With other programs I made excuses not to go too heavy, but DC inspired me to make no excuses and to push myself. I banged out the 6, barely surviving the 6th rep. First goal accomplished. Now onto unexplored territory. I've never tangoed with this kind of intensity but I was already pumped and ready to try anything. I was shooting for doing 225 for my widow maker, but after some careful thought, expierience kicked in and told me to go down a notch to 205. This turned out to be the perfect decision. By 10 I was already hurting. I hit 2 more for 12 and really began to fight myself mentally. As I did small restpauses of 2 reps at a time, I felt my legs begin to weaken. By 16 my legs were shot on my mind was the only thing keeping me in it. At 18 I seriously contemplated racking the weight. But then, like a flip of a switch, I said fuck it and blasted out the final two reps. I racked it and feel to my knees trying to catch my breath. Thats the kind of shit that keeps you addicted to the gym.
