Today was all about going back to basics. Mostly because of time and a lack of creativity, plus wanting to ramp up the intensity for next week when the real fall workouts start. Always my best time for training through fall and winter, so I’m planning accordingly.
Chest: DB incline presses (3×12,12,10 + X Reps); Incline flyes (3×12,10,8 + X Reps); Edge-gripping bench pushups (3×15 + X Reps)
Back: Chins (3×15,12,10 + X Reps); DB pullovers (3×12,12,10); Bent-arm bent-over laterals (3×15,12,12 + X Reps); DB shrugs (3×20,15,12 + X Reps)
Abs: Full-range crunches (4×15,15,12,12 + X Reps)
Note: My current split is based on the POF MMX Mega-Mass Workout in the new e-book MMX Fast Mega-Mass Workouts–the Max-Muscle X-pansion System.
Summary
Sometimes it’s just nice to go back to basics, and this was one of those times. Not much thinking required, but still a great workout. I increased weight when possible, and kept the rest periods at 35 seconds plus adding X Reps on the last set of every exercise.
