30 Minute 6-12-25 Workout โณ๏ธ
6-12-25 is a great time saving method for building endurance & work capacity, along with promoting hypertrophy as segment stimulates a different mechanism for muscle growth - Mechanical Tension (most important), Muscle Damage & Metabolic Stress ๐ช
Pick a muscle group or movement pattern, then use 3 Exercises together (Tri-Set) 3๏ธโฃ
โขFirst Exercise - Mechanical Tension
6 Reps with a Heavier Load
โขSecond Exercise - Muscle Damage
12 Reps with a Moderate Load
โขThird Exercise - Metabolic Stress
25 Reps with a Light Load
Do 3 - 5 Rounds
Take no rest between exercises ๐ โโ๏ธ
3 - 5 mins Rest between Rounds ๐
-
Today I used the Horizontal Push Pattern (or Chest / Triceps from a Bodybuilding viewpoint)
6 - Bench Press
12 - Decline Neutral Grip Bench Press
25 - Band Overhead Triceps Extension
4 Rounds - 3 Mins Rest
-
The whole thing took just under 30minutes including a dynamic warm-up & some warm-up sets for bench press.
Its important to be smart with load selection so that you arent failing anything. While my first round felt on the easier side, by rounds 3 & 4 the same loads were very challenging. I like to start with 2-3 Reps in Reserve and go from there. You can always change load inbetween sets if needed. ๐โโ๏ธ
I like using these in the off-season with some athletes to help build their strength endurance (as they create lots of fatigue so arent ideal for the in-season). With general population clients they can be used almost anytime (but not for too many weeks in a row) and are also a great option if youre on holidays / on the go and tight for time but still want to get something done. โฉ๏ธ
Keep in mind if your goal is hypertrophy, it depends hugely on your caloric intake / recovery, and its hard to beat classic progressive overload on exercises creating high amounts of mechanical tension, as this is the greatest contributor to muscle growth compared to muscle damage / metabolic stress.
Other examples for Push:
6 - Barbell Overhead Press
12 - DB Incline Press
25 - Band Tricep Pushdown
6 - Loaded Dip
12 - Loaded Push Up
25 - Band Overhead Press
