Training DTP Style

I'm going try something different. I'm going to try DTP (Dramatic Transformation Principle). This uses a combination of reps, weights, and workout techniques that can alter your physique. I'm going to do this for four weeks. 

DTP is a pyramid trainer. You lift four days per week with cardio days between each weight session. You'll only be doing one or two exercises for each muscle group or body part, but you might hit 500 reps across multiple sets. 

Training Split

• Day 1: Legs, Upper Abs
• Day 2: Cardio
• Day 3: Chest, Back
• Day 4: Cardio
• Day 5: Arms, Lower Abs
• Day 6: Cardio
• Day 7: Shoulders, Upper Traps

DTP sets are typically 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 reps and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 reps. The rest intervals for the first 5 sets look like this: 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 seconds. When you go back down, you'll rest for 120, 105, 90, 75, 60 seconds.

DTP Example SuperSet
Leg Press (superset)	50	40	30	20	10	10	20	30	40	50
Calf Raise (On leg press)	40	30	20	10	10	10	10	20	30	40
Rest (seconds)	45	60	75	90	105	120	105	90	75	60

As you can see this is going to be interesting. I did Day 1 with this workout that you see. It was tough and I liked it. Day 2 is cardio. More of a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) style. 3 minutes of slow to medium pace and 1 minute of all out effort. You do this for 20 minutes. After cardio, stretch the body out to make the recovery even better. Then you're done. Can't wait to Wednesday or Day 3 for some Chest and Back.

I'll give you details on Wednesday!
