6-12-25 - Give this a try. Loved it. It made me lift as heavy as I could for the 6 reps. I loved this program.
How To Build Muscle (Using The 6-12-25 Protocol)
Probably the most popular plan out there. I have used this the majority of the time. I put a 6 week plan together and change after that 6 weeks. Increase weight when you can easily do 6 reps.

I love the flavor of the peanut butter. I use this protein powder to make Protein bars and smoothies. Its made from grass fed beef …so if you have issues with whey like I do sometimes, this helps. I also make brownies with the chocolate and sweet potato!
