DoggCrapp Training Opinions

Me and my buddy have been doing the dc style workouts since the end of June and we have both gotten stronger every work out. I 've gained about ten pounds and it seems to be muscle as my upper body is thicker,especially traps and shoulders,and I'm not any fatter. I've stuck with basic exercises: full squats,deads,bar rows,overhead presses and benching.I also usually do two movements for bi' s on back day and two for tri's on chest/shoulder day. I did break up chest and back into seperate days even though the dc work out has them on the same day.I'd rather do back and legs on the same day.The only thing I dont like is I've been having alot of wrist and elbow pains and I think its from the multiple sets to failure.Been talking to my work out partner about going back to 5x5 for a few months and see if my joints get better.
 
I've been on it for about 1 month and a half and love it In that short of a time I have seen noticable changes and strengh has gone up not to mention instead of the 5 day split that was 5hrs a week down to 3 hrs

You think this might be the major reason for your gains? I'm pretty sure it is. ;)

Maybe I wasnt clear but I was already doing these things with the 5x5.Not implying that this type training is better than others or the best . I just like the fact that if I can get my partner to shut up and lift, we can be in and out fairly fast. In a perfect world I guess I would have as much time as I wanted to lift but the reality is I have two kids and they're a little more important . Dont mean to get off topic just explaining why I like DC style training. Like I posted before though, I am thinking about going back to 5x5 to see if my joints feel any better.
