4x per week split is pretty tough. I wouldn't do it on dc.

Go back to the 2 way split!
The 3 way split is when you are big enough and just want to bring weak part up to par. Or when prepping for mass gain the 2 way is way better.

3 way split is habitually for ADVANCED BB'ers and looking at your # you just are not ready or in need for that.

thats how it is written up, either m-w-f or m-t-th-f. I have hit each part 2x a week, and made good gains. On a program boyd drew up for me a year or so ago(had injurys and been lazy a few times since then). If i start feeling fatigued or not recovering well I'll make adjustments then.

The m-t-th-f split the body in 3 DAYS not 2! You are mixing the 2 way split in the 3 way split. What ever it is called don't call that doggcrap cause it is NOT DC.

I went back and researched and you were right. I'm gonna finish out this week the way I was going, then go to the 3way 4x a week. Thanks for pointing out the era of my ways.

After reading some of this, Im confused and Im fairly knowledgeable about DC Training..

Marlin, I would recommend the 3 day a week program. This is where the majority of trainees start at. Its a Mon, Wed, Fri split. You will hit each bodypart twice in 8 days. The Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri split is for advanced trainers and people with great recovery abilities. There is also another split where you do a full workout on Monday and a full workout on Wednesday. Then on Friday, do 1/2 a workout and Saturday, do the other 1/2 of the workout. Again, I recommend the 3 day. I hope this clears up the confusion of the splits.

The 3 day split that most use and what I did is as follows...

Monday
Chest
Shoulders
Triceps
Back width
Back thickness

Wednesday
Biceps
Forearms
Calves
Hamstrings
Quads

Friday
Chest
Shoulders
Triceps
Back width
Back thickness

Sat & Sun - off

Then the next Monday, you start again with the 2nd workout..
Biceps
Forearms
Calves
Hamstrings
Quads

This protocol keeps repeating. You are splitting the body up in 2 days basically or 2 workouts, however you want to say it. Day 1 is workout 1 and Day 2 is workout 2. You pick 3 different exercises for each bodypart and then do 1 exercise for each bodypart in the workouts. So, in essence you have 6 different workouts total. Make sense ?? The key is to keep that logbook updated and try to beat it everytime.
Also, dont forget your diet. Its the key to this whole program. If it isnt up to par, you wont make gains. This routine calls for an excess of calories. So be sure you are getting plenty of food in you, especially protein.

If you have any questions, ask and I will try to help as much as possible.

Got of work at 6am, played 3 on 3 basketball for 2hrs. My right shoulder and lat started to get sore as hell, from yesterdays work out. Been mega dosing BCAA's the last couple of days(30-40g), It's helping my recovery, DOMS really didn't set in for like 14-15hrs usually its more like 10-12hrs.

I like the 2way split, plus it hits body parts more times in less time.

Still W should be training, but I guess that with Basketball it wouldn't be a good idea...

I work 3rds ten hour shifts, we play after work iin the mornings. Thats about the only real cardio I get so I really didn't want to give that up. I did well these last two weeks with back to back days, so it shouldn't hurt me too much, plus saturdays I get tons of sleep, so that helps in the recovery process.
