Today’s workout was almost a duplicate of last Monday, but it was a double-X-rated version with DXO (Double-X Overload) on the stretch exercises. Not much time added to the workout at all, but a significant benefit from the added time under tension at the key stretch point…
Chest: DB incline presses (3×15,12,8 + X Reps); DB flyes (2×10—DXO); Edge-gripping bench pushups (2×15 + X Reps)
Back: Chins (2×15,12 + X Reps); DB pullover (2×10—DXO); Under-grip chins (2×10,8 + X Reps); DB shrugs (2×18,12 + X Reps)
Abs: Leg raises (2×12); Full-range crunches (2×15,12—DXO); Planks (2×60 sec)
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
DXO (Double-X Overload) was a great addition today. Still an incredibly efficient workout, but the extra double-hitch on each rep right at the key spot on the stroke where you can get more fibers to fire really adds to the burn – and pump! That’s always a great (and somewhat painfully good) addition to DB flyes, but lats seemed to respond better than usual to DXO on DB pullovers today. Arms are already shaking with excitement to get the DXO treatment tomorrow.
