Starting to feel a bit of apprehension before my full-body workouts. Do I need a break or just to suck it up? Always a good question. I’ll see if my motivation revs by Friday, otherwise I may use a reduced workload session or perhaps wait till Monday to hit it again. Here’s what I did today…

Note: My current program is based on methods in the new e-book MMX Fast Mega-Mass Workouts–the Max-Muscle X-pansion System.
Summary
By the end of the workout I was feeling my breakfast rising. Lol. That first high-rep set, add weight and only rest 30 seconds is rough over 3 sets. I only use this workout once a week. Considering alternating it with the antagonist-supersets workout. Might be an interesting change to gain–and more adaptation to this MMX method with less breakfast revisitation. Lol.
