Drizzly Friday, but I still made it to the gym on time for MMX POF Friday. Odd to work delts/arms/abs on a Friday, but that’s the way workouts fell since I missed Monday. It was full 3-move POF with rest/pause on almost every exercise… [Read more…]
Steve: MMX Pre-Ex Wednesday (legs/chest/back +)
Confession time: I missed Monday’s workout. Why? I was still sore in my legs from three sets of Smith-machine squats on Friday. But what’s strange is that most of the soreness was in my inner thighs (adductors) to the point of being debilitating, not quads. Perhaps my stance was too wide. Back to the gym today feeling good… [Read more…]
Steve: 1-Move-3-Sets Friday (legs/chest/back)
I had planned to do my normal isolation exercise followed by a big midrange move–modified pre-exhaust. But when I walked into the gym, people were on both the leg extension and leg curl. Time to improvise. After a bit of hip flexor stretching, I saw the Smith machine open. I haven’t done Smith machine squats in forever. And thus started my 1-move-3-sets workout…
Steve: Full-POF Wednesday (delts/arms/abs)
Unusually cold outside this last day of November–which prompted me to train at home. Not a problem when it’s full-POF delts/arms/abs. All it takes is PowerBlock dumbbells and an adjustable bench for a killer workout–and with a bit of ingenuity, I can do full Positions of Flexion for each muscle group…
Steve: MMX Midrange + Stretch Monday (legs/chest/back)
I didn’t miss any workouts due to Thanksgiving. Luckily, my overeating didn’t occur to the point of getting me ill on Friday, so the gym was in the cards. Felt great today too–all carbed up…
Steve: MMX Stretch + Contracted Wednesday (delts/arms/abs)
Today it was two sets each of a stretch move followed by two on a contracted move–except for delts. And on the stretch move I started with a high-rep set: MMX…
Steve: MMX Midrange-Stretch (legs/chest/back +)
Did some new Monday exercises, which sparked motivation. Still keeping the volume low–don’t want to re-aggravate my nagging lower-leg pain…
Steve: Pre-Ex Friday (legs/chest/back)
I needed a quick one today, so I went back to a Pre-Ex attack–similar to last Friday. I used a high-rep isolation (contracted) move for an MMX effect followed by a compound exercise (midrange)…
Steve: MMX Stretch + M/C Wednesday (delts/arms/abs)
I decided I needed some good target-muscle damage/soreness, so I started with MMX on a stretch move–plus a rest/pause set. Then I moved to one heavy set of a midrange exercise followed by one set of a contracted move. Really felt in the groove… [Read more…]
Steve: MMX Midrange-Stretch Monday (legs/chest/back)
Felt great today–leg healed, kept the alcohol minimal yesterday. I also kept the volume minimal today. Why? Moan-day so I left off the rest/pause to minimize the moaning… [Read more…]
