Combine supersets, minimal downtime for “rest” periods, and a stomach full of too much water and you get the perfect ingredients for throw up Thursday. LOL! Okay, maybe it was just nausea, but there was a lot of it. Nothing came up, though, other than a significant pump and some good lung conditioning…
Chest/Back: DB incline presses (3×20,12,8 + X Reps) ss Parallel-grip chins (3×15,12,10 + X Reps); DB flyes (2×10,8—DXO + X Reps) ss DB pullovers (2×10,8—DXO + X Reps); Edge-gripping bench pushups (2×15 + X Reps) ss Bent-arm bent-over laterals (2×15 + X Reps); DB shrugs (2×18,15 + X Reps)
Abs: Leg raises (2×12) ss Full-range crunches (2×15 + X reps) ss Planks (2×50 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.
Throw Up Thursday Summary
I didn’t throw up, but it sure felt like I was on the verge through the chest and back supersets. I think that’s a good sign that I should keep up with the supersets, though, as it just proves how quickly conditioning can slip. Plus, keeping up the metabolic momentum through the winter months is key to staying in decent shape, regardless of what all the tempting foods try to tell me. LOL! Lungs (and stomach) were on fire for the first part of the workout, but it was worth it for the pump, let alone the efficiency of timing when training with opposing-bodypart supersets. It’s hard, but well worth it.
