6 Week Firefighter Hypertrophy Program

Program
Goal

This hypertrophy program is designed to build muscle without breaking firefighters down. Time under tension replaces maximal loading to keep training sustainable, effective, and repeatable. This program is optimized for firefighters who train around long shifts, athletes wanting muscle without joint pain, and anyone who prioritizes durability, aesthetics, and recovery.

Style

Time under tension, moderate loads, perfect control, 40-70 seconds of tension per set, low joint stress, high muscle stimulus

Schedule

3 training session per week (typically performed on off-duty days, with optional light work on shift)
