I was looking forward to chasing the burn and pump today. Seems like forever since I was in the gym (it was last Thursday). It was more crowded than usual at 6:30 a.m., but no one got in my way. The quick high-rep set, low-rep set and speed-rep drop set doesn’t take long at each station, so usually when someone asks, “Can I work in?” I can say, “I’m done; it’s yours.” Love this workout…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Monday Mass Attack)
I was amped up for a solid Monday Mass Attack after a nice holiday-infused weekend. Gotta love this time of year! We had a Christmas party to go to in the afternoon yesterday, but I was so motivated that I slipped a pre-party workout in for chest and back. That meant this morning was delts and arms – one of my favorites… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Strength Surge)
Big strength surge today, but that’s easy to explain. Too many days of being sick combined with ample Thanksgiving leftover intake and extreme focus meant today was going to be a winner no matter what. Focus and intensity were extreme this morning… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (high, low, speed drop)
Expecting a big pump after a mega-carb load on Thanksgiving–and then the leftovers the next day. I was not disappointed. Even with only three quick sets per exercise, it looked like I grew 10 pounds of muscle when the workout was over. Gotta love that…
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Cyber Monday)
Great holiday weekend, with the exception of everyone in our home having a cold. It was nice to stay mellow up until Cyber Monday, but with everyone getting a bit antsy (myself included), it was great to get into the gym this morning…. [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Turkey Time)
Perfect timing for a cold/flu. Yes, that was definite sarcasm. It’s Turkey Time tomorrow, and I came down with a little something on Monday night. Actually, the whole family seems to have the same thing. I took yesterday as a rest from training, hoping to recover and go 100% today. No such luck. I felt the need to train, however, so I dialed it back a bit to make sure I’m feeling decent enough for high volumes of turkey intake tomorrow… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (speed drop)
Back to my standard high-rep set and lower-rep set + drop with speed reps (speed drop). It’s such a quick, efficient hit for the target muscle that it’s my go to workout during this full-body phase…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Freeze-Flex)
It officially feels like November in the gym now, so it was a bit of a Freeze-Flex Friday. If you’ve followed our training blogs for a while, you’ll know that’s a good thing for me, though. I love me some cold-weather training. I may never fully understand why, but intensity and focus is always increased when the air is cold… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (Compound Aftershock)
Many years ago I wrote a booklet on the Compound Aftershock method because it was so effective. I decided to revive it in a more abbreviated form, and merge it with MMX (high-rep set first for slow-twitch fatigue). Wow, talk about a killer workout–more work in less time, plus I felt like deep growth fibers were being activated–or maybe that was just stomach acid churning to hurl my breakfast upward. Lol…
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Throbbing Thursday)
Some minor changes this morning made for a throbbing Thursday. Chest and back were in super-pump mode, and abs felt like they got a much more severe thrashing that usual… [Read more…]
