Back to the Future Day, so I pretty much duplicated the last stretch-workout day. It was like being in the past, but feeling the future. LOL… [Read more…]

Last week’s schedule got hosed due to several reasons, but I was happy to wake up to a midrange Monday. Great way to start the week, and I’ve realized that my mind works much better on training days. Working out so I can work it out. LOL… [Read more…]

This workout should’ve been yesterday, but I was out of town having fun with my family. A day late but it felt great. All stretch and all DXO to celebrate being home… [Read more…]

Just another Massive Monday. LOL! Okay, maybe not, but it was another good workout. Supersets make a huge difference in the efficiency department when it comes to full-body workouts, so that was the name of the game where possible…

Quads/Hams: Step-back lunges (3×15,12,10)
Calves: Calf raises (3×40,30,20 + X Reps)
Chest/Back: Incline DB presses (3×15,10,8 + X Reps) ss Parallel-grip chins (3×12,10,8 + X Reps)
Delts: DB upright rows (3×15,12,10 + X Reps)
Triceps/Biceps: DB extensions (3×15,12,10 + X Reps) ss Seated DB curls (3×15,12,10 + X Reps)
Abs: Planks (3×60 seconds)

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

Workout was very good, and as much as I like the step-back lunges, I think I’ll be going back to deadlifts for Monday workouts. It’s just a better way to start the week on a high note. Everything’s feeling great, and the efficiency is finally back now that I’m more conditioned for the full-body work, but I’ll probably be adding some more techniques to spice things up a bit.

I got some good contraction action in today with it being all contracted movements, so the pump was great. Full-body Friday is good stuff on its own, and even better when you get a good flex in your pecs. LOL… [Read more…]

Flashing back to last Wednesday’s full-body blast with stretch position exercises got me thinking I needed something to ensure that this was a Hump Day Pump Day. I got sore last week, but pump was slightly lacking. Fixed that with supersets and DXO… [Read more…]

Flashing back to how exhausted I felt last Monday (first full-body workout), yet how great I was feeling by the end of the week, I figured I was ripe for some fun. Deadlifts for life was my Monday mantra today. I haven’t done genuine deadlifts in ages – and I could tell… [Read more…]

Monday’s full-body workout was pretty much all midrange movements, so I went all super stretch today. For my first week of full-body MMX I’m going with the simplicity of midrange/compound movements on one day, stretch on the next, and max contraction this Friday… [Read more…]

Big change for me today, as I decided to follow in Steve’s footsteps with a full-body max MMX assault today. I’ve only done full body routines when on vacation or when schedules are just too condensed. He’s been getting good results, though, and the research we keep writing about put me over the edge. Gotta try it… [Read more…]
