Ultimate Exercise for Shoulder Size

Jonathan Lawson, wide-grip rack pulls

Q: Maybe I missed it since I’m a relatively new subscriber to your newsletter, but what is the Ultimate Exercise for shoulder size; wide-grip dumbbell upright rows or dumbbell presses?

A: We first identified each Ultimate Exercise for every major bodypart in our first e-book, The Ultimate Mass Workout. There’s a comprehensive chapter on each one, why they are best, and also a few complete programs with just those moves—like V-handle chins for lats… [Read more…]

Steve: STX-Iso Friday (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I enjoy the feel of an all-isolation workout–well, maybe “enjoy” is the wrong word because it’s damn painful. But it’s pain to gain, so bring it…

Steve: STX Home-Gym Stretch (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

I decided for all stretch moves today–and a home-gym workout. The reason? I had a bit too much wine last night, so I wanted to be close to a toilet just in case. LOL. Why did I drink too much wine? Because this is my first year playing Fantasy Football, and I have the New England Patriots’ defense. They got smashed, and I ended up with only 1 freakin’ point. Hope the rest of my team does better Sunday and Monday…  [Read more…]

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

Steve: STX Iso + Drop Tuesday (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
It was mostly all focused isolation exercises today, but with a twist–instead of rest/pause after the heavy set, I reduced the poundage and immediately did a drop set–no rest. Killer change to gain…
