good stuff, you don't do very many sets.

Nope. I truly believe that the vast majority of clean trainees should train in a similar manner. Some can use more volume and some a bit less but most would benefit from a similar routine.

i'm natural, right now anyway, haha, and i do at leat 15 sets per bodypart, today i did 6 stes of barbell rows working up to 365 for 5, 3 sets of db rows, up to 150lbs. and 5 sets of pulldowns, it's always worked for me.

Well, to each their own. I would say you are the exception but you should always do what works best for you.

i hear you, it's just that sometimes i think that guys use this overtraining bullshit as an excuse to be lazy, i don't think you need to do 50 sets or spend all day in the gym but you have to do some work.

i do agree with you on the eating though.

I do 2 sets to failure per exercise, 3 exercises. So 6 sets to failure per muscle with 2-3 warm up sets.
I've tried to do more sets to failure but my strength will drop a lot after doing more than 6-8.

I trained to failure for many years but have found stopping short of failure on most movements most of the time to be a superior method.
I am certainly not the biggest, strongest, or leanest guy but I DO think my results are pretty good for someone not using tissue building drugs. I have been training for 19+ years and have read and experienced more than most. I also am in the relatively unique position of having access to some of the strongest men and women in the world.

19+ years is a long ass time, i'm pretty sure i could pick something up from ya. Do you have a website where you break down your workouts/food intake, etc. bro?
Thanks

I just did Dogcrapp style training for the first time today, what do you guys (esp. Chris) think of this style of training? in theory it sounds legit... it's almost like a variation of circuit training, you do one exercise per bodypart and you train that bodypart 3 times in 9 days.
According to him (Dogcrapp) that gives you 156 growth phases or so a year (3x52 weeks) compared to the conventional one bodypart once a week which would only give you 52 growth phases a year. Also he (Dogcrapp) advocates doing a different exercise per bodypart each time you train, so a typical workout would look something like this:
day 1; chest = incline bench press, tri's = rope pulldowns, forearms = reverse curls
day 2; shoulders = military presses, quads = leg press, etc.
day 3; back = lat pulldowns, bi's = dumbell curls
day 4; chest = decline bench press, tri's = skullcrushers, forearms = barbell twists
what do you guys think?

bump..

I think it is something that can be used for brief periods in your training. Training to failure for drug free individuals is self-limiting over time and that is the only problem I see with DC. That said, incorporating it as a training cycle every so often could be beneficial allowing you to reap the benefits and limiting the drawbacks.
