Super-TORQ MMX
I decided to suck it up and try Super-TORQ on a different quad exercise today. Great decision from a muscle-isolation standpoint, but it sure makes for a wobbly Wednesday…
Quads: Step-back lunges (5×30,20,20,15(10)(8)—drop)
Hamstrings: Alternate leg curls (5×50,40,30,20,10(8)(6)—drop)
Calves: Donkey calf raises (5×50,40,30,20,12(10)(8)—drop)
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: That was rough. LOL! Quads and hams both got hit with single-limb movements, but the Step-back lunges were particularly hard. Those rep numbers are per leg, so the first set was 60 reps, but with alternate legs because of the nature of the movement (obviously). That was about all I could muster! I was able to increase the weight for every round, though, and legs were seriously shaking toward the end. I decided to go with Alternate leg curls, too, just to keep the pain insane. I was able to get the full reps per leg with those, but only because all reps were on one leg before moving to the other. Weights weren’t impressive, but the burn sure was. I changed the angle on calf raises so that I got more stretch today (Donkey calf raises), and I kept rest to a bare minimum on all rounds. Made for a pretty intense workout for all bodyparts today.
