Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Freaky Friday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

The change from POF early in the week to 10×10 for the late-week workouts keeps thing interesting, and helps bring back the Freaky Friday fluctuation. Finding proper work weights and rest periods adds to the fun, as short rests with 10×10 seem to keep things moving along well, both from a time and muscle-feel standpoint… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (10×10!)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

Our latest e-zine about 10×10 training got me thinking that would be an ideal variation for some new mass creation – or at least something fun to experiment with that I haven’t used in a couple of years…

Steve: Full-Body MMX (anabolic drive)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I always wake up on Wednesdays with fear plus excitement. I know I have to hit the gym and attack a grueling 20-rep set of Feet-forward Smith-machine squats right off the bat–at 6:50 a.m. Fear. But it’s also exciting because I know that the hypoxia from that set, as well as from the lower-rep sets after (10, 8), can trigger overall muscle growth–anabolic drive. Good motivation to hit the rest of the workout hard–and grow like never before…

Jonathan: Legs (stair stumbling)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

For the most part, I really love having a gym in the basement. The only time I have second thoughts is during the stair stumbling that goes on when I’m done with the workout. Stairs to get up to the kitchen to eat afterwards, and more stairs to get up to my office. At least anyone in the house gets a good comedy show when I’m done… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (power pump)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

The change to all-DP 3X this week has resulted in a serious power pump for all muscle groups. Even slight variation is enough for some good change to gain… [Read more…]

Steve: Full Body MMX (metabolic uptick)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I made a small change to gain today–and it created a big metabolic uptick. The change: After my high-rep set, I stuck with the same weight for the second two sets. In other words, I added weight for my second set, when stayed at that weight for my third. That gave me a few more reps on every exercise. I was surprised at how doing only 2 to 3 extra reps per exercise all the way through took a serious metabolic toll. In fact, I had to go home and take a nap–not kidding. I was wiped out. Bonus: The pump was bigger too…

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Massive Monday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

Back on track with the proper training sequence. I was in the mood for some change, and I’m liking the DP 3X so much that I used that on everything, even the supersets. Made it feel like Massive Monday…

Steve: Full Body (stubborn muscle groups)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

MMX Pyramid

We all have stubborn muscle groups. One of my toughest is chest–so today, instead of just a stretch move, I used Flyes as the first move in a Pre-Ex superset–at least on sets 2 and 3–doing incline presses immediately after each of those second two sets. Here’s how it went today…

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (fantastic Friday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

While I somehow managed the wrong workout yesterday, it made for a fantastic Friday workout. The last day of the week always means a great workout, but having delts and arms land on a Friday makes it even better… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (wrong workout)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

It wasn’t until half way through today’s training session that I realized I was doing the wrong workout. LOL! Rather than saying I’m just getting old and losing my mind, I’ll say that I went with instinctive training today. My chest and back needed the work more than delts and arms, I guess… [Read more…]
