And it goes way back to 2002
He has a DOMS theory for hypertrophy. He's stated that any routine that causes DOMS will lead to hypertrophy. He's said that the majority of trainees in the world are not getting bigger, and that's because they're not achieving DOMS. I never could glean a routine from his posts at the HST forum- partly because it was very tiring to read all his posts that cut down HST but never gave any evidence to support his rantings. He didn't seem willing/able to respond directly to the questions that readers had after reading his posts. Nobody ever could nail him down on anything.
I'd like to see "The DOMS Theory" written down somewhere. Even the article (at T-Mag?) that he wrote doesn't describe it. He spent several weeks ripping up HST on the forum, but I can't find his theory, or anything else concrete for that matter, from him.
If you read Vince's essays of verbal vomit, you will see that it is full of contradictions. He doesnt understand the basic concepts of physiology, even though he says he has a masters degree in it. The basic concept of muscle growth is that progressive overload is needed for the muscle to adapt by hypertrophying. He preaches some DOMS principle. DOMS is a inflammation, but he also says alot of bodybuilders grow without it. I think DOMS should be used as a guide, but not as a rule as Vince suggests.
