About DTP


DTP is the training system that has transformed the physiques of many people and can do the same for you as well. DTP targets both the fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers in order to both enhance and define your muscle. It provides an overflow of nutrient rich blood to the muscle group you are training to provide a fuller appearance and more separation to the physique, at the same time increasing the heart rate and the intensity to burn fat and build muscle as well. You complete a total of ten sets with a rep range of 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 for the first five. Once you complete the set of 10, you complete a second set of 10 and then do 20, 30, 40, and then 50 again at the end. You rest about forty five seconds in between each set.

DTP is an intense training system so you can implement it one of two ways. You can either use it on the entire body for three consecutive weeks followed by taking two weeks off or you can use it on one or two muscle groups per week for as long as you choose to.

In Order To Both Enhance And Define Your Muscle.
There are many benefits to using DTP for yourself:

You can count the warm up set as a work set also due to the high rep range.
Since the program is so intense, you also can burn fat while you are training.
The workout doesn't take long so you can train even on a limited schedule.
The fact that you use the high range reps before the low range reps lowers stress on your joints and tendons. Therefore the chance of injury is much lower than a regular heavy training program.

Various Forms Of DTP


DTP also will never be boring. You can accomplish the workout in a variety of ways. Doing this keeps the body from adapting to one program so your body can keep benefitting from it. They include the following:

TERMS YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW
Superset - Two exercises are performed consecutively without any rest. 
Drop Set - Also known as strip sets, drop sets involve the immediate reduction of weight between sets with no rest. This will thoroughly burn out a muscle. 
Partials - Performing an exercise without going through a complete range of motion either at the beginning or end of a rep. 
Rest-Pause - Do a set to failure. Rest for 5 to 10 seconds then do a few more reps with the same weight. Do this once or a few times depending on your energy levels and how far you wish to push. With this technique you can take a weight you can only do for a certain number of reps and increase that amount. 
Failure - That point in an exercise at which you have so fully fatigued your working muscles that they can no longer complete an additional repetition of a movement with strict biomechanics. You should always take your post-warm-up sets at least to the point of momentary muscular failure, and frequently past that point.

DTP Supersets:

You can do opposing muscle groups in the same day to either really kick up the intensity or if you can't get in the gym one day this is a great way to make up for it. Let's take biceps and triceps for an example. You can do barbell curls and superset skull crushers with them.

DTP Drop Sets:

If either you want to go a little heavier or can't accomplish the number of reps you need to do on that set, you can drop the weight once you hit failure and then resume where you left off until you finish the set. This is great when you use machines and you can change the pin on the stack quickly.

DTP Partials:

Partials are awesome for adding extra intensity to a set. Adding 10-15 partials to the end of a set really both increases blood flow to the muscle and keeps a set going so you know you hit it as hard as you can. DTP Priority - If you choose to do only two muscle groups a week, then make your two weakest muscles your priority and implement DTP for those two only.

DTP Rest Pause:

Again, if you can't complete the set with the desired weight, there is a way to help you finish. Once you hit failure, rest for five seconds and then keep going where you left off. Do this until you get the target rep range. If it takes more than a couple of rests, you probably had too much weight and should decrease it.
