[quote=Anonymous]I’m no expert, and many people on DCUM disagree with me, but to me it means full body, progressive resistance, barbell exercises like barbell squats, barbell deadlifts, barbell bench, barbell overhead press, and barbell rows. Lifting 2.5 times your bodyweight for deadlifts is a really different thing physiologically than a set of “heavy” lat raises with 15 pound dumbbells that you can only do 8 of. I fooled around with various schemes I’d 8-12 reps and no deadlifts or squats for 30 years off and on without getting stronger. Once I switched to focus on the big lifts for sets of 3-5, I got stronger than I ever imagined I could be, and my body really changed. [/quote]
