Hard to believe this is my first training blog of the month, but it’s been a big dose of Mid-March Madness, and I’m not talking about basketball. Simply been too busy to grab a few moments to summarize my training each day, but never too busy to hit the gym…
TORQ and Super-TORQ for Efficiency
As mentioned above, this month has been very busy, and that’s looking to be the new normal here, efficiency is the name of the game. That means I’m going for the most training density I can manage, and bouncing between TORQ and Super-TORQ sequences seems to fit that bill painfully well.
My goal is not only to just fit efficient training into my limited schedule, but to also get in decent shape for the spring and summer months. The limited rest periods, and extreme time under tension of both these training methods accomplishes a lot of that. Plus, they’re building up my pain tolerance with the ridiculous level of muscle burn and post-workout soreness. If you curious about the benefits of high reps of TORQ or the ridiculously high reps of Super-TORQ and why we’d ever inflict that sort of pain upon ourselves (LOL!), then take a look at The Ultimate Power-Density Mass Workout e-book.
Note: My split is based on the Ripping Phase Routine in the Beyond X-Rep Muscle Building e-book with TORQ and Super-TORQ for efficiency.
Mid-March Madness Summary
Blogging time isn’t on my side, but there’s always time for training, so making the most out of the time I have right now is paramount. It’s only been two weeks or so of using both TORQ and Super-TORQ (depending on my training mood each day), and I’m already noticing more muscle fullness. The level of deep muscle burn during each set is shocking, but the blood flow and pump for the target muscle groups after any set makes you realize the value the high reps/long tension times.
