Oh, that was good! Hump Day Pump Day was in full effect, especially for back. I haven’t felt a pump like this in a really long time, but it has me super motivated. I think I somehow forgot just how great a skin-stretching pump can feel… [Read more…]

That was exactly what the muscle doctor ordered. Because of new work schedules, life, and a whole bunch of other reasons, it’s been months since I felt a pump like I did this morning. All basic moves and just normal to slightly higher than normal tension times, but the results were fantastic… [Read more…]

Today was my final Phase 1 Friday before moving into Phase 2 of Size Surge, and it was a good one. It was a surprisingly quick four weeks, but I’m welcoming the change. I do like the breakdown of Phase 1, and it’s good for setting the stage for the rest, but I’m looking forward to next week… [Read more…]

It’s the last Monday training session of Size Surge Phase 1 before I go into Phase 2 next week, but the biggest thing on my mind (aside from getting an awesome workout) was the fact that it’s going to be crazy cold in the gym on Wednesday. I was mentally in winter weather gym prep mode after the workout. Twenty degrees colder should jack the intensity up nice and high… [Read more…]

Okay, I’m saying it was a frozen gym, but this morning was just a teaser for next week’s temperature drop down there. That may sound like I’m complaining, but I’m not. I love me some cold-weather workouts! That’s when my intensity is at its highest and I tend to feel the workouts even more. It’ll be the perfect time to wrap up the end of Phase 1 before moving into the muscle-making Phase 2… [Read more…]

It was a nice ‘n early one for today’s Wednesday workout. Woke up before my alarm and couldn’t get back to sleep, so down to the gym I went. Much more motivated and amped up than I was on Monday morning, so this one was a great one. … [Read more…]

With all that rest over the long holiday weekend, I expected to wake up ready for a size surging Monday. For some reason, however, I woke up tired. Really tired. Major lagging, and I can’t blame the holiday food because that was actually minimal. Heck, maybe I needed more of it. LOL.. [Read more…]

I expected to wake up to a food coma Friday, but I actually didn’t get carried away with the turkey ‘n taters. Desert was limited to just one small slice of pie, too, so I just felt fueled up for a Friday pumpfest… [Read more…]

Spent a great workout making room for turkey tomorrow. Okay, there was much more to it than just getting ready for a big holiday meal, but it’s still great to think about the holiday celebrations tomorrow. Today’s workout was intense and pump-producing, so it was a good one. Tomorrow morning’s cardio will be the turkey room maker… [Read more…]

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is this week, but that means it’s time for a pre-holiday size surge. With the upcoming holiday feasts, and the fact that I actually want to be in decent shape when spring rolls around, I may end up with a bit of cardio training on my off days, but this morning’s workout was a great way to start the week… [Read more…]
