Another empty-gym Monday. I did the three-set MMX midrange attack–two if there was muscle crossover, like on back. Then I hit one set of a stretch-position exercise to add to my size…

As usual on Fridays I started with an isolation exercise–but today I did three sets: 20, 10, 8, adding weight on each). Then I followed with one fairly heavy set of a big midrange move. I figure this strategy is a good one for Friday because I work these same muscles on Monday with the big midrange move first–change to gain…

Nice, empty gym again. My Wednesday workout is never complicated, however, so that didn’t matter. I decided on high-rep stretch move, rest 30 seconds, add weight, 8-10 reps. Then I went to a contracted-position exercise for two sets of 9-12 reps–delts kicked it off, and I trained that a bit differently than I just described…

Gotta love an empty gym on a Monday morning. It was so motivating that I decided to do three progressively heavier sets on the midrange move (DP 3X), although on some I only did two when there was crossover, such as mid-back and lats…

I did a repeat of last Friday–with a few exercise variations (gym was a bit crowded, so I had to improvise). I pre-fatigued each target muscle with an isolation exercise (20,10) and followed with a rest/pause set of a big midrange move. Here’s how it went…

Got in the gym an hour earlier than usual because I thought it might be crowded on a holiday–people wanting to get their workout over with and enjoy the day. Nope. Empty except for one guy–who decided to set off the emergency alarm. The siren and menacing voice (“leave the area!”) went on for 15 minutes, then the cops showed up. He explained he was foolish enough to push the button. Lol…

Last Friday I pre-fatigued each target muscle with an isolation exercise (20,10) and followed with two sets of a big midrange move. Today I did the same, but for the midrange I did a rest/pause set instead. Here’s how it went…

Getting back to my commercial gym has really re-invigorated my workouts. Today I did a midrange Monday but with a twist–I added a fairly heavy stretch exercise to the mix…

Feels great to be back at the gym–more variety, machines and motivating people (some not so motivating, but they are trying). It amazes me how much more I can and want to do when I have to drive to the gym. You’ll see below that I’m doing more volume than my home workouts–and loving it…
