The shoulder and arm pump today made for a ferocious Friday workout. Just a few minor alterations over Tuesday’s workout to keep things interesting, and I walked out of the gym feeling incredible… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (chest-back attack)
Today’s chest-back attack was almost a duplicate of Monday’s workout, but with more strength and focus. Of course, that also equates to a better feel and more pump, so it was a great one all around… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (DXO to grow)
I didn’t do Double-X Overload on the first set of each exercise last week, so I went back to it today for extra stretch emphasis. DXO is doing a quarter rep in the stretch position between each full rep. With 10 to 12 of those 1 1/4 reps, I got MMX hypertrophy effects–long tension time first. I also added some X Reps to the end of that. Then I added weight for a second set of around 10 reps with a stretch-hold at the end. Quick workout but highly effective–still feeling it as I write this…
Jonathan: Legs (Wobbly Wednesday)
Yowza! This ended up being a seriously wobbly Wednesday after the workout. My legs were shaking so much going up the stairs to get out of the gym that I thought they might be nervous about asking my wife out on a date this weekend. LOL! Quads, hams, and calves were all blasted… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Royally Pumped)
Royally pumped today, and not just because of the Royals World Series Victory Parade. Shoulders and arms felt extra swollen today – probably the biggest pump I’ve had in over a month. Great stuff… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body MMX (X-celeration add-on)
I‘ve been getting to the gym even earlier lately–6:30 a.m. Why are there so many people? Sheesh! One reason I get up at the crack of dawn is so people don’t get in my way and disrupt my flow at the gym. Oh well. I’m sure as winter closes in, it will thin out again. Still had a great workout, however–in about 50 minutes. Here’s how it went down…
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Muscle Doctor)
I gave the full-body assault a fair shake, and I liked it a lot for the first couple of weeks. Today’s workout was just what the muscle doctor ordered, though: A skin-stretching pump. There’s definitely a place for the full-body workouts, and I’ll bring them back again, but the idea of being able to focus on just a couple of bodyparts was too appealing… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (speed drop)
I got such a unique quad and glute sensation from Cable squats last Friday, I kept them in today. Gotta thank Mr. America Doug Brignole for that one. Who would’ve thought that holding a low-cable handle in each hand, stepping back and squatting would have such a great hypertrophic effect. The rest of my workout stayed the same as well. This is a great Friday full-body mass attack…
Jonathan: Full Body (Full-Body Finale?)
Another chance to use my new gym toy, so I was looking forward to the workout. With Halloween tomorrow, a time change this weekend, and a new month beginning, this may have been my Full-Body Finale. Don’t get me wrong, the workouts are great and extremely efficient, but I’m not a fan of taking days off and no single bodypart ever feels completely hammered. I’ll likely be going back to a more traditional split come Monday… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (stretch overload)
I always look forward to Wednesday because it’s all stretch-position moves–well, almost all. Resistance in the stretch position has been shown to trigger hypertrophy–and it hurts so good. Lol. Instead of DXO on the first set, I just did a standard higher-rep set–going for 18-20, and a static hold in the stretch position at the end of the second heavier set. Pain–and change–to gain.
