Despite a slightly slow start, it was a terrific Tuesday workout! Had a few early-morning things to take care of before heading into the below-ground muscle dungeon, but the initial sets of squats got the blood flowing in a hurry, and strength continues to go up a bit at every workout…
Legs: Squats (2×12,10); Sissy squats (1×12); Leg extensions (2×15,12); Stiff-legged deadlifts (2×12,10); Leg curls (2×14,10)
Calves: Donkey calf raises (2×25,20); One-legged calf raises (2×15,12)
Chest: Incline DB presses (2×15,10); Incline flyes (1×10); DB bench presses (2×12,10); Flat bench flyes (1x1o)
Triceps: Extensions (2×15,12); Overhead extensions (1×12); DB kickbacks (1×12)
Note: My split is based on the Phase 2 routine in The X-traordinary Size Surge Workout 2.0 e-book.
Terrific Tuesday Workout Summary
Quad, hamstring, and calf work felt great, though I was also giving myself a bit of extra rest between sets/exercises compared to previous workouts. The incline bench was calling, so I swapped the sequence around for chest and started with upper chest work for some variety. As expected, strength shot up on inclines because of that, and it suffered a bit on DB bench presses, but the feel was unreal. Triceps felt nice ‘n swollen, too, but I’m thinking I may end up adding an extra set of kickbacks to this workout just to finish them off a bit more.
