I wouldn't even recommend HST or Max-OT to somebody with less than one year of practical training experience and learning. And DC is harder than both.
would normally agree with the DC experts. The strength gains on DC's system is largely dependent on the mass gains you get from the system. If you don't grow on DC, you have little-to-no chance of getting stronger. Failure-based systems use a sort of retrogressive causation fallacy to interpret the improved CSA=extra force relationship to support their ideas on recovery and their pragmatic model of strength=size relationship. That is, if they've done more reps than before, they've gained size. If they don't, they haven't gained size. was thinking, for example, a static hold of dumbells, with incline curls.
I'll have to look at that other post you spoke of, 0311. Much of this is all mixed up and I can't make heads or tails of it. In that passage above I can't tell if he's disagreeing with the size=strength model of failure based systems or what.

May have been more forceful without terms such as "retrogressive causation fallacy".

Now you know I love analysing the whys and wherefores of things, but that's mostly when I think they could possibly be dangerous or just plain stupid -so it' only to a point. It's like diving into the sea: the deeper you go, the darker it gets!

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
