Steve: Full-Body (opposing-muscle supersets)

I had such a great workout last week with opposing-muscle supersets that I decided to continue with it today. It took me a few rounds to get going, but once the blood was flowing, motivation and a big pump showed up big… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Superset Superpump)

Yesterday’s superset superpump workout was great, and this seems like a good week for a bit of a shift in training before kicking it back into ultra high gear. I went with supersets between opposing bodyparts, so there was still a big metabolic kick, and the POF pump was sick (I just had to get that to rhyme. LOL)… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Labor Day)

POF

Late start on the workout, but it’s Labor Day, so no feelings of rushing to get things done. I was in the mood for a fairly “normal” workout, so I went with mostly basic POF moves, but used supersets on arms to keep the intensity up a bit… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Fast Friday)

POF MMX

That felt like an oddly fast Friday workout, but it turns out I was just focused and amped up. I also made it a point to stick with the 35-second rest periods to make sure everything moved along nicely for more density with my intensity… [Read more…]

Steve: Full Body (antagonist supersets)

This is my back-off week, so I did full-body MMX on Monday; today, Thursday, I did a more abbreviated session, including opposing-muscle supersets–although some of them weren’t with antagonist supersets, as you’ll see… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Legs (swift kick in the hiney)

MMX

I was really thinking that yesterday’s insanely good workout would mean that it would carry over into today, but I woke up dragging. Hard to wake up and low initial motivation, and I almost decided to take it as a rest day since I was so sore from yesterday. I ended up just giving myself a swift kick in the hiney instead. The workout wasn’t my best, but it was better than making excuses… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (F-Bomb Central)

Super-TORQ MMX

I don’t know what it was today, but the intensity was ultra high. Maybe because it’s the first day of September and creeping into my favorite time of the year? Who knows, but it was F-Bomb Central. I rarely cuss, even when training hard, but today was fully uncensored. LOL! [Read more…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (StatX)

Last Monday I bumped up the intensity and volume a bit with a Rest/Pause add-on. Doing that on so many exercises that covered my entire body wiped me out (hey, I’m old–Lol), so I backed off today to just a StatX or X-Rep add-on. Drained at the end, but felt good–and the pump was excellent… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Swole Patrol)

Super-TORQ MMX

This morning’s workout proved that it’s much better to time your pre-training meals well. Arms were on swole patrol this morning, and I’m convinced that it’s because I got into the gym on time – for a change. I wasn’t hungry, so I seemed to have enough fuel to get a solid workout and a ridiculous pump…

Steve: Full-Body MMX (high to low)

Wednesday I did antagonist supersets, all moderate reps and the workout was reduced volume. Today it was back to MMX–high to low reps. Felt great–so good in fact that I may stick with the more abbreviated superset workout on Wednesdays. Hey, change to gain… [Read more…]
