Kris Gethin DTP workout program , Building Mass
I've been reading up on Kris Gethins workout program called DTP and wanted to get some feedback from anyone whose tried it/ think it makes sense that it would work to gain some serious mass.
"It combines a lot of volume and a high/low rep principle to activate both fast and slow twitch fibers...."has enabled everyone who has tried it to burn fat and build muscle"
example day:
Arms
* DTP Barbell Curl Superset with Lying Tricep Extension: 1×50, 1×40, 1×30, 1×20, 1×10, 1×5, 1×5, 1×10, 1×20, 1×30, 1×40, 1×50
He sells customized 12 week versions of the program on his website for $150.

I'm basically trying to gain as much mass as possible in the next 3 months, but the added bonus of losing fat at the same time sounds to good!
So, the question remains, DTP for Mass?? Will it maximize results!?
DTP/HIT really does work. just don't do it exclusively
I started working out nine months ago after a 20 year layoff (since my high school days). DTP/HIT is an integral part of my routine. Never do DTP too long in a row or you'll end up over training. I cycle, one week DTP, one week bodybuilding (medium weight, higher rep) and one week heavy (heavy weight, low reps) and the transformation has been stunning. 9 months in I have lost over 60 lbs of fat and gained about 10-15lbs of muscle. I look cut and I'm strong as an ox. On my heavy days I'm pushing 1100 lbs on the leg press, benching 300lbs, and curling 140lbs on the olympic bar. My DTP week is killer and since major cardio is incorporated in the routine I do NO extra cardio during that week. I add in interval cardio on the body building and heavy weeks except for leg days. I work out Mon (biceps/triceps), Wed (legs/shoulders) and Fri (Chest/back), abs I do a couple times a week always after my workouts. Check out Chris Gethin's DTP (Dramatic Transformation Principle) used in his 12 week trainer series. I superset the exercise for that day. For instance on leg/shoulder day. it's leg presses, then military presses all the way up the pyramid then down, with no rest between.
I love my DTP/HIT week. For the rest of the day I feel a sense of euphoria as the HGH is released from the intense back to back with no rest exercises. I look forward to bodybuilding week so I can make the mind muscle connection and really contract the medium weights for a great pump and I look forward to heavy week to really get the adrenaline going and push the max weights to impress the peeps in the gym. Mixing it up like this always makes it interesting and my body looks forward to the next cycle.
Good luck!
