Descending Rep 2
This program is focused on hypertrophy, but can be just as effective for recomposition or fat loss if nutrition is adjusted appropriately.
It is focused on accumulating a higher volume of tension across the entire range of the muscles’ contractile ranges.
Exercises were carefully selected to maximize the time under significant tension within each rep which means less overall sets and reps are necessary to accomplish the same level of stimulus for growth. We are minimizing “junk volume” which allows your body to spend more energy growing new tissue with less additional overall stress, meaning faster recovery between workouts.
This program is a higher intensity progression from Descending Rep 1. It is recommended to have at least completed Ascending Load LT-1 and/or Descending Rep 2 before attempting this program.

Descending Reps
A descending rep protocol allows you to progressively increase the loads while working at a higher average intensity to stimulate more high threshold muscle fibers.
It also helps to prepare the nervous system to work at higher intensities as you progress through the workout.
