Introduction
Part 1: What are sets of three?
Part 2: The training method 6/12/25
Part 3: The science of 06/12/25
Part 4: Sample Training Routines
The 6/12/25 method is a bodybuilding training method that was popularized by
strength coach Charles Poliquin .
If your arms don't make sense “ gangnam style ” was a thing, then you should try
a 6/12/25 arm workout!
A set of three is a training method where you perform 3 exercises in a row for
one muscle group with only 10 seconds of rest between each exercise. For
example:
Just think about it: if a regular set takes 20 seconds to complete, a triple set will
force your muscles to work for 60 seconds straight. That's a lot of time under
tension !
The 6/12/25 method is a special type of tri-set where you perform 6 reps on the
first exercise, 12 reps on the second exercise, and 25 reps on the third exercise.
For example:
In my experience, there are two really effective ways to design a 6/12/25 method
arm workout: you can use three exercises that are very similar to each other or
three exercises that are completely different from each other.
The first method is called “ uni-angular triangular sets ” because each exercise
overloads the muscle at a similar angle.
Here's a great 6/12/25 biceps uni-angular workout you might want to try. Check
it out:
This workout is ideal for overloading the short head of the biceps and brachialis .
If you wanted to overload the long head of the biceps then you could perform 3
different types of incline dumbbell curls or incline cable curls.
Now let's look at a great uni-angular triceps workout 6/12/25. Check it out:
Tri-Set Uni-angular Triceps routine
This workout uses three different types of lying extensions or flat pressing
exercises to overload the long head and lateral head of your triceps.
This is a great way to design a triceps workout if you struggle to feel your triceps
working during compound pressing exercises.
Of course, you can also design a 6/12/25 method arm workout where you use
three completely different exercises to target three completely different parts of
the muscle.
In my experience, this method works even better than the uni-angular method.
For example, you can choose an exercise that overloads the long head of your
biceps, an exercise that overloads the short head of your biceps, and an exercise
that overloads the brachialis/brachioradialis.
This is a great way to fully develop all the muscles in your upper arm.
For this routine, 45-degree incline dumbbell curls target the long head of your
biceps, the standing ez-bar curl targets the brachialis/brachioradialis, and 90-
degree preacher curls target the short head of your biceps. biceps.
These three exercises also do a great job of targeting different points on the
strength curve . In other words, these exercises overload your biceps at the
bottom, middle, and top of the range of motion.
Here's a great 6/12/25 method workout for your triceps with three completely
different exercises. Check it out:
If you are going to use this workout, it is very important that you follow the
correct tempos for each exercise.
The first exercise is performed with a 4-second negative phase, the second
exercise is performed with a 2-second negative phase, and the third exercise is
performed with a 2-second negative phase.
These slow eccentric tempos are necessary so that you accumulate enough time
under tension per exercise to stimulate maximum growth.
The 6/12/25 method is easily one of the best training methods you can use to
build big, strong weapons.
If your arms haven't grown since Jim Carrey kicked his own butt then you need
to give this training method a try.
“The last three or four repetitions are what makes the muscle grow. This area
of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's
what most people are missing, having the guts to go ahead and just say that
they will go through the pain no matter what. ”
Thanks for reading and I wish you the best of luck on your strength training
journey!
