Jonathan: TORQ Twist (delts, midback, biceps)

Went into the gym ready to duplicate Monday’s workout, but decided on a TORQ twist at the last minute. Oh, yeah… THAT’s what muscle burn and a ferocious pump feels like…

Delts: Lateral raises (3×30,20,15 + X Reps); DB upright rows (3×30,20,12 + X Reps); DB shrugs (2×20,15 + X Reps)
Midback: DB rows (3×30,20,15); Bent-arm bent-over laterals (3×30,20,15 + X Reps)
Biceps: Standing curls (3×30,20,15); Face-down incline curls (3×30,20,15 + X Fade)

Note: My split is based on the Ripping Phase Routine in the Beyond X-Rep Muscle Building e-book.

TORQ Twist Summary

It may not look like much, at least not until you look at the rep counts, but TORQ is a beast! I opted for two exercises per body part because the burn and pump was so severe that I didn’t need more. Nutty stuff, but so incredibly good. A long-lasting pump, too, and even with the high reps it was surprisingly quick yet very effective. Based on the skin-stretching pump and the efficiency of time spent in the gym, this little random flashback experiment just became a big part of my current routine.
