Already into round two of the new routine, and I’m loving it so far. It’s nice to have a new split, and adding in several X-Hybrid techniques makes it even more exciting – and motivating…
Delts: Laterals (2×15(10),12—drop + X Reps); Forward-lean laterals (2×12,12(8)—X Reps + drop); Leaning one-arm laterals (1×12 + X Reps) ss Incline one-arm laterals (1×10 + X Reps); DB upright rows (1×12 + X Reps) ss DB shrugs (1×12—DXO)
Midback: DB rows (2×12,10 + X Reps); Behind-the-neck chins (1×10 + X Fade); Bent-arm bent-over laterals (2×12(8),10(8) + X Reps)
Biceps: Preacher curls (1×10 + X Reps); Standing curls (2×10,8); Face-down incline curls (1×12(10)—drop + X Reps); Hammer curls (1×10(8)—drop)
Forearms: Reverse wrist curls (2×15,12 + X Reps) ss Wrist curls (2×15,12 + X Reps); Forearm rockers (1×15(12)—drop + X Reps)
Note: My split is based on the Ripping Phase Routine in the Beyond X-Rep Muscle Building e-book.
Round Two of The New Summary
I changed it up a little bit with exercise choices today just for some variety and to hit the muscle groups from some different angles. Everything felt great! Delts really got a nice attack from every angle, and I’m really liking the fact that back is split up over a couple of days. That allows a bit more focus on troubled areas, and it’s already making my back feel pretty good (way too much sitting in my life at the moment). Intensity was seriously on fire by the time I got to biceps and forearms. Really liking the split and looking forward to seeing how the next several weeks turns out.
