I have to say that I am slightly confused because it seems to me that hypertrophy and MetCon are two different goals. I wonder whether one goal can be detriment to the success of the other? For example, "traditional" hypertrophy programs are designed to be used for several months to see big results: 4-6 months, even more. Although those include the occasional cardio, the main focus is time under tension (or the 6-8 rep range). Now, the TACFIT material (besides Mass Assault) lies mostly under the MetCon paradigm. How can someone achieve their goal, following the MetCon approach? Also, I wouldn't think following Mass Assault for more than 28 days would be advisable... Alternatively, could someone substitute Moderate Intensity days with Hypertrophy workouts? But then again, would you achieve optimal results in any of those two? Looking forward to your response, Kn Hi John,
