On Mondays I do two rounds of antagonist-, or opposing-, muscle supersets, and I follow with one set of a different exercise for one of those target muscles. It’s a lot of focused work in a short time. Sometimes there is nausea–but I haven’t puked yet. Lol. Here’s how my hour-long session went today… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (anabolic drive)
I had such a great workout last Friday that I mirrored that session almost exactly. I looked back at my training blog from last week and memorized what I did. And I was right–another great workout, a pumped-up way to start the weekend… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (straight-set growth)
Steve: Full Body (exercise add-on)
I continued with opposing-muscle supersets–and then adding one set of a different exercise. That works very well on a number of levels, from mental (gotta get something out of the extra exercise in only one set so focus is high) as well as physical (it’s a different move/angle so new fibers can get stimulated). Here’s how it went down today… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (superset sweat)
The gym was hot–with more bodies than usual. I worked up a sweat from the very first superset of front squats and back squats on the Smith machine. The straight-set workout on Wednesday did it’s job–it allowed me just enough work and recovery to be very motivated for today’s attack… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (pleasantly pumped)
The past few weeks I’ve been doing antagonist, or opposing, muscle supersets. Doing that full body three days a week was getting stale, even when changing up exercises, so I decided to go back to straight-set MMX on Wednesdays. The higher reps with shorter rests between sets created a more robust pump–and I swear I saw a few new veins… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (opposing supersets plus)
After two days of rest, I was ready for some intense gym time. I switched up some of my supersets, but the biggest change was my addition of one set of one key exercise after two superset rounds–for example… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body (antagonist supersets)
Gym was empty, felt motivated. Put in some good full-body work today–lots of sweat and pump was awesome. Couple of new moves today… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body (opposing supersets)
Once I got started today, I realized that Wednesdays should actually be a pared down version of my Monday and Friday full-body workouts. That will create “undulating” intensity/volume to avoid overtraining. Unfortunately, I didn’t do much to downshift today. In fact, I began with a pretty rigorous superset of two types of squats and actually added a superset. D’oh!… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body (opposing-muscle supersets)
Felt a bit under the weather this morning–too much football watching yesterday maybe. Lol. I plowed through my workout of opposing-muscle supersets anyway, and it actually felt pretty good–although on the very first superset I had to substitute DB stiff-legged deadlifts for Flat-back hypers. Interesting how much more of a drain the deadlifts are… [Read more…]
