Jonathan: Legs (all-day afterburn)

Legs are hammered. It’s been 6 hours since I was in the gym, and I’m still dealing with the all-day afterburn. Feels so good to feel so much pain. LOL… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs (Torched Tuesday)

That was a hardcore Torched Tuesday Workout. Chest and triceps were particularly on fire, but lats were in the deep-burn zone, too. Funny that I wasn’t actually feeling 100% (let’s just call it “stomach issues”), but strength was up and focus was unreal… [Read more…]

Steve: MMX Aftershock (legs, chest, back, brachialis, abs)

Felt great as I hit it at 6:20 a.m. in a fairly empty gym. Most of the cardio machines were occupied, but the weight area was vacant. Lucky me since I know the secret–resistance training is king. Quick Compound Aftershock attack today…

Jonathan: Delts, Midback, Biceps, Forearms (ideal feel)

This morning’s workout produced the ideal feel for every muscle group. Delts felt incredibly good. Back and arms felt great, too, though there was a slight lower-back spasm during bent-over laterals. Nothing bad seemed to come of it, but it definitely woke me up… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Tris, Abs (weekend warrior)

Work obligations tied up my Friday morning more than expected, but no worries, as that gave some more recovery time for the soreness to subside. Full-tilt boogie for a weekend warrior workout this morning, however, and there’s nothing quite like a cold, Saturday morning workout when you know you’re going to be working under a car for 10 hours once you’re done. LOL… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Midback, Arms (round two of the new)

Already into round two of the new routine, and I’m loving it so far. It’s nice to have a new split, and adding in several X-Hybrid techniques makes it even more exciting – and motivating… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Legs (new pain to gain)

As expected, soreness was pretty deep this morning. Not just chest and triceps as I was expecting, but my entire back was shockingly sore. New pain to gain is the mantra this week, and probably next. The new intensity was no different today for legs… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs

Oh, there will be some chest and triceps soreness tomorrow. Lats and abs are likely to feel a bit worked, too, but there was a bit more than usual that went into chest and tris… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Midback, Arms (new split)

New split, and delts were up first. Shoulders first isn’t actually any different than a typical Monday, but it’s the first time I’ve jumped on an all-new split for at least a couple of months. Although I’ve made several technique and exercise changes, it’s probably been a few/several months since a major shakeup, really, so I knew it was time for some change… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (basics blast)

It was a great basics blast this morning for chest and back. Great workout, but a couple of twinges in my back reminded me that I need to get up from my desk and move around a bit more during the day. Nothing worse than feeling an injury coming on, especially when the cause is too much sitting at your desk… [Read more…]
