I ran that same DC split for many years, sometimes 3x per week and sometimes 4x. Now getting to close to the half century mark, I found I cannot recover from the rest pause sets and widow makers like I used to. Even at higher rep ranges. This year I switched to an upper/lower split 4x per week with a lot more top set and back off sets for working sets with a little mix of muscle rounds I learned from Scott Stevenson. Plus, I still do a pump set for each body part on the opposite day, so if it is upper day, I do a pump set for legs and arms 15-20 reps leaving about 5 reps in reserve. I am up 18 lbs in actual tissue. Best size and condition I have ever been in. My goal was 14 lbs of stage weight in 2 years. I have already eclipsed that and still have a year to go. I wouldn't say my split now is better than the DC PPL split. I just think it was the right time to switch to increase a stimulus. I don't think it would have worked nearly as well if I wouldn't have done DC for so long and built massive, mature muscle.

***Episode EDIT: Ron mentioned that Tom was like an ex special forces for the Australian military, but he retracted and corrected it in the IJBB episode after this one. I guess he was in the special forces.
