Coach
James Zotto

6-12-25 is a 6-Week Program comprised of 4 strength sessions + 2 conditioning sessions per week. The strength sessions are split into lower and upper submax effort and dynamic effort lifts throughout the week.

The goal of the 6-12-25 Method is to promote massive gains in strength & hypertrophy by creating:

1)Mechanical Tension: heavy loads for first lift 2)Muscle Damage: moderate loads for second lift 3) Metabolic Stress: light loads at high reps for third lift

Conditioning training sessions are split into two categories, cardiac output and metabolic conditioning to help improve overall fitness and improve recovery.
