I was motivated today, but for some reason my lower back wasn’t. Felt like a minor impingement, so I avoided Semi-stiff-legged deadlifts and simply did two sets of Flat-back hypers. The DB squats were no problem on my back, so those stayed in–wicked burn done immediately after high-rep Sissy squats…
Steve: Show-Muscle Wednesday (MMX Aftershock arms & delts)
I hit arms and shoulders with MMX Compound Aftershock; I used one or two isolation-move sets for legs, chest and back. Great workout–gotta love focusing on delt/arm pump…
Steve: MMX Aftershock (legs, chest, back, brachialis, abs)
Felt great as I hit it at 6:20 a.m. in a fairly empty gym. Most of the cardio machines were occupied, but the weight area was vacant. Lucky me since I know the secret–resistance training is king. Quick Compound Aftershock attack today…
Steve: MMX Compound Aftershock (iso legs, delts, arms, abs)
It’s only January, but I feel as if my motivation is starting to come back with a vengeance. I had one of the best workouts in a long while today, and I even added a set for both chest and back at the end. Unusual to have so much energy as I left the gym…
Steve: Legs, Chest, Back, Abs (2-set Compound Aftershock)
Using the Size Surge Phase 1 split makes workouts look easy on paper. But the supersets using a high-rep stretch move with a lower-rep, fairly heavy compound exercise are rough–and sometimes nauseating. High reps are not easy, especially on painful stretch moves. Here’s how it went today…
Steve: MMX Stretch Monday
Continuing with the Compound Aftershock supersets with stretch move first. Still getting great result with it, and the Stretch Monday pump was awesome, even with just one superset. Impressive… [Read more…]
Steve: Iso Legs; Delts, Arms, Soleus (Size Surge Split)
The last day of 2015, and this week I’ve been experimenting with the three-day Phase 1 Size Surge split, using MMX Compound Aftershock for most muscle groups. That’s a high-rep stretch exercise immediately followed by a lower-rep compound move for that same body part. This midweek workout is the shortest of the three and was just what I needed to propel me into 2016...
Steve: Full Body MMX Compound Aftershock (Size Surge Split)
Back at it after some holiday slacking–a good time for some change to gain. I mentioned the Phase 1 Size Surge split to reduce breakfast reflux. I tried it today, and it felt great. More SS split details in the Summary below...
Steve: Full-Body MMX (eat, train, puke)
Okay, I didn’t puke–but it was close. No question that full-body workouts are grueling, even with only two sets per muscle (I may have a solution; see Summary below). The major reasons for the nausea are training legs first, with some high-rep sets, and the fact that I’m including supersets–a high-rep stretch move followed by a semi-heavy compound exercise. It’s one of the quickest ways I’ve found to get a good pump, deep fiber activation and anabolic priming–oh, and to “relive” my breakfast. Lol.
Steve: Full Body (single-set MMX Compound Aftershock)
It’s almost mid-December–so why is the gym so damn crowded at 6:30 a.m.? No problem, I can adapt and adjust–which I did on my very first round, and many others too…
