The wait is over The Kris Gethin DTP MASS Trainer Video Series is here!

I started this program yesterday doing legs and upper abs.. I don't have a leg press machine or a squat rack so I did deadlifts instead. My lower back had some pain when doing it. I think my form was correct. Maybe my femur is too long and i cant really do squats/deadlifts effectively. It doesn't seem like deadlifts are very safe for doing this many reps. Any thoughts on this? I may have to get a gym membership.

Deadlifts just isn't a swap for squats, you are meant to be targeting your quads. I think maybe you could use dumbells and do squats but with the weight by your thighs rather than behind your neck. Hope this helps.

I don't have a leg press machine at the gym I use, it does however have a seated leg extension and seated leg curl (hamstrings) so i use those and alternate. I could not imagine doing squats on this program, i think i'd be re-decorating the place with my breakfast.....

i tried squats the last week just to try n adjust and it just wasnt doable.

thanks for the tip! I just watched some videos on youtube of dumbell squats. I never knew you can do squats using dumbells. I am new to squatting so I use low weight anyways... a dumbell would be enough weight for my level. I can see issues with higher weights though.

I did the chest/back workout today and dam, I've never felt such a a workout before. I never followed program in the past; just did 3 days a week of random 5x5 exercises. This DTP program is taking me to my limits.

[verilci]

This program is INHUMANE!!!

[Tarzanboy]

I have a question...I'm finishing the 12 week Hardcore series in 9 days...should I wait a week or two and reintroduce fruits nuts dairy etc back into my diet gradually or should I just go right into the DTP 4 week Trainer. I have lost 41 pounds on the hardcore and don't wanna blow back up. However, I just don't know if the body will be immediately ready for 5500 calories immediately.


Thanks Kris for these killer workouts...You're truly an inspiration!

[DHAH]

Are there any ladies currently doing this routine? I am very interested in this program.

yep starting next week

[Msldup12]

Just finished week 4 and I loved the workout. Great way to shake things up. I gained a couple of pounds of quality muscle and actually leaned out a bit. Not bad for 4 weeks. Very happy with that. Thanks for the great program Kris.

[shreeshpandey]

I am 28 years old, never done any body building or weight training apart from couple of ab exercise in home. I weigh at 130 pounds 5'3" inches, I am not fat but does not have mass as well, I work in a corporate and does not have much time, but now I want to dedicate time to this after I stumbled upon your site, seriously I plan whole night and not able to decide how to start it, wanted to start with DTP 4 weeks, but worried that since I do not have much training, will I be able to do the kind of workout shown in DTP as I am only 130 pounds, I am worried that I might sustain injuries, should I even start with DTP or some other program if you can suggest, I want to gain some mass , have some weight in bisceps and work on my abs. I am ready to start, believe me for the first time in my life I am excited about muscle only because of your site.

Thanks
Shreesh

Tomorrow starts my last week of the program. This thing is nuts. I have been doing this along with taking Animal M-Stak and the results are phenomenal. The weight that I have been able to push has skyrocketed and I have put on about 13 pounds so far with minimal fat gain. People keep coming up to me and talking about how big I have gotten lately! I am loving it. Thanks for putting this routine together, Kris!

The best part...I finally have a chest that looks developed. HECK YES!

[dlralston]

Anyone have any before and after pics from this program?

[Rugg12]

Started this on Monday after having done a few 12 week cycles. The diet definitely takes some getting used to. Leg day didnt go too bad, but todays chest and back DTP absolutely kicked my ass. Feels weird being happy about dry heaving in the gym bathroom

[Bill3520]

DTP- Killer pump on traps.

[Womkeith]

Well I just completed the 4 week program. I've been going the the gym for a few months but haven't been putting in the work. I think the scientific term is "pussy-footing"....anyway this was the 1st time in my life I've EVER worked out legs, shoulders, and arms. I would usually just bench press and call it a day.

I followed the workout routines spot on, the cardio spot on, the diet is was unable to follow to the T. I work shift work and was able to cut out cokes, fried foods, pizza, etc from my diet

I'll be jumping into the 12 week program, because I love that my pants fit for the 1st time in my life




This morning I woke up @ 197lbs.

[DustyC]

I just did the chest workout today then finished with the first workout in the arms sections, 840 reps WOW so intense it was crazy. Forearms felt so full

[Blacklac]

I hope I remember to NOT take HemaVol when I start this... LOL.

[jamezford]

can i use this workout rightnow or i should start with last kris workout ?
whats happend if i dont use supplyment on kris workout programs ?

[Basslover]

Hi kris, first of all thanks for these nice workouts, i want to start your 12 week training, but i have a question about the days i can train. In your 12 week training program i see that there are also workouts in the weekend. Thats going to be a problem for me, because i cant train in the weekend. So only midweek, right now i do a split program on mo - teu - wed off - thurs - fri - weekend off, can i do this 12 week program midweek?

There is one more thing, on sundays i have soccer matches so leg day for me would be best somewhere in the beginning of the week like monday or teusday, i hope u can give me some directions on how to schedule your 12 week program for me, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance..

[Jeffstandish1]

You da man Kris

[rpweiler]

Just finished my first week of DTP and am feeling great (and sore as hell!). I am already feeling a difference in my strength from finishing the 12 week trainer prior to DTP, it was definitely a great lead in to this program. Hoping to see some great gains in muscle building!

[jdmz]

This program is awesome. I must admit, I did not do much of the cardio stuff. My bench max went up from 165 (not touching chest)--> 205lbs+ (touching chest) in 4 weeks. I am still finishing up my 4th week. That is just ridiculous compared to my regular 5x5 routine. I gained about 1-2 lb with minimal fat gain.

Will post before/after pics when I am done.

[Kaged Muscle]

Thank you all for the interaction. If anyone has a question for me, please ask on the 'Ask DTP a Question' thread in the Physiqueelite BodyGroup. In the meantime, if any of you have been using my Nutrition by Design food on this program http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nu...fit-meals.html , please add your HONEST review and rating on the review section. Cheers - Kris

That's an impressive climb, good for you. I set myself a goal to bench 225lbs by years end. I got 210lbs last week and I'm starting this program on Monday. Hope I get results close to yours. . Although I more driven by the mirror, It's nice to hit goals.

[Berano]

I finished this course about four weeks ago, it;s really challenging but gives you great gains in strength. I put on about 3lbs muscle not too much fat. I have done Kris's hardcore trainer previously and find his plans really productive.
Currently doing Jim Stoppanis shortcut to size, again another challengging routine, would recommend it as a follow on from DTP, that or Y3t.

[rxb09a]

DTP shoulder workout is the hardest workout by far!

[Abjam]

Haven't worked out in 5 months. will restart tomorrow morning with this. My body has no idea

[Rugg12]

Its 3 weeks in for me and I have to confess, my focus has been a little shaky with getting used to the diet. But even with that, I've experience strength gains that have inspired me to cut the B.S. and get my head together.

[seaneybhoy]

hi Kris, i have recently completed the DTP trainer i didn't do your 12 week programme because i was only 8 or 9 stone when i started the 4 week plan now i am nearly hitting 11 and a half stone thank you for that i never thought i could gain weight this quick after 6 month of getting no where i nearly gave up my goal is to hit 15 stone and ultimately enter a bodybuilding contest the 70kg or 80kg weight class my question is what do you recomend i do next should i carry on doing the DTP till i am near 15 stone then do your 12 week trainer or shall i try another program i was thinking doing the y3t trainer but i would rather stay with your programs i will take what ever is thrown at me to reach my goal and i dont care how long it takes thank you for any advice

The DTP workout routine calls for
Monday: Legs/Abs
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Chest/Back
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Arms/Abs
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Shoulder/Traps
Then Repeat..
However my question is..Is it okay to do these workouts back to back? Also, is cardio a must for this routine? I go to the gym every morning before school at 4:45AM Monday-Friday and take the weekends off to rest. Could I split it like this?:
Monday:Legs/Abs
Tueday:Chest/Back
Wednesday:Arms/Abs
Thursday:Shoulder/Traps
Friday:Legs/Cardio or any other body part that is lagging.
Saturday/Sunday rest?
