So… For those following our training blogs here on X-Rep.com, you may have noticed I haven’t been around since July. My training blogs were sporadic at best because of my work schedule, and then I started a new venture in the late summer which completely took me away from being able to post updates, but I’m back in action… [Read more…]
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…]
Steve: MMX Pre-Ex (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)
I missed my early week workouts due to a flare-up of my lower-leg injury. Not sure what I did, but limping around sucks. It felt better today, so I decided to train everything with only two sets, MMX Pre-Ex: isolation exercise for 20 reps followed by a heavier compound move for 10. Great full-body workout…
Steve: Iso-MMX + Midrange (legs/chest/back +)
As usual, it was iso-focus Friday. I did a contracted-position move first, high-rep set (20-ish), lower-rep set (9-ish) and a rest/pause after. Then I did one all-out compound, or midrange, move set. Here’s how it went…
Steve: MMX 3-2-1 Wednesday (delts/arms/abs)
Hit the gym today with an idea, hence the 3-2-1 in the title. I did stretch move first, 3 sets: 20, 9, 7. Then I did the midrange exercise for one set with two rest/pause sets added. I ended with the contracted-position move for one set with one rest/pause set added. Here’s how it looked–3, 2, 1 blastoff…
Steve: MMX Monster Midrange Monday (legs/chest/back)
Halloween, but I decided not to wear my Arnold mask to the gym. It’s hard to breathe during leg work. The biggest change from last Monday: I did Machine leg presses instead of cable squats–some gal was on the cable machine–and I added a rest/pause to the stretch move. Scary…
Steve: Superset Wednesday (delts/arms/abs)
I trained at home again–Wednesday is no problem because it’s small muscle groups. I also did full Positions of Flexion like last week. The change was that I started with the midrange exercise this time, and I supersetted the contracted and stretch moves. Here’s how it went…
Steve: MMX Midrange-Stretch Monday (legs/chest/back)
Back to Cable squats to kick off midrange Monday. Great exercise–thanks to Mr. America Doug Brignole for suggesting this one…
