looking for a new routine.

[jnobles06]

i am having a hard time finding the type of routine im looking for. i have heard yall talk about it on here a few times. im looking for a routine that is fast paced and uses mostly compound movements with free weights. i have seen people doing these type of routines at the gym and its about time for me to change it up for a few months and out my muscles into shock.

6-8 weeks of DC training will suffice. Done right, you'll feel like you only slept 2 hours a night and will hate the sight of a gym towards the end... however, you should gain 10-20lbs on all of your major lifts.

Im curious as this just hit me but DC's philosophy is, workout every body part once a day mixing it up every day after that. How are muscles supposed to grow when you only work them out with one routine and how are they supposed to heal if they are being worked out every day or every other day? I think doing two major muscle groups a day is a little "strange" but to each their own.

I am simply asking a practical question, Don. Not bashing your routine. I know you're in love with Dog Shit.

Me personally, my goals change so much I have gone back to simply pushing my body weight and some free weights.
If you are wanting something "fast paced" I would suggest googling "Spartan 300 Workout" as it's supposed to gauge your performance over a period of time and is quite "fast paced". I think anytime you try "rushing" anything in the gym and sacrafice form is stupid but I suppose one could master the quickness and form composure all in one.

i can't get motivated enough to do those home exercise tapes. i tried the p90x and did it for like a week. i just feel like a dumb ass working out in front of a tv.
