I was going to alternate the superset sequence every other workout, and I might still do that, but I liked this sequence so much on Friday that I duplicated it today… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body Attack (MMX Pyramid)
The good news is I was still looking forward to my full-body attack today. The bad news is I did something to my left trap tending to yard work after Friday’s workout. My conclusion: My traps aren’t getting enough squeezing attention, so I fixed that today… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (POF MMX)
What a wicked weekend. Crazy heat, and I had to spend several hours in the garage, so it was almost like working in a sauna for 6 hours each day. Needless to say, it was easy to rationalize a no-cardio weekend. LOL… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts and Arms (POF MMX)
I switched it up a bit today for delts and arms, so it was exactly the same, but different. LOL! Just changed the sequence on supersets, but otherwise the same split as Monday… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (MMX Pyramid)
Feels like back to the future for my workouts–full-body three days a week. I don’t think I’ve done full-body workouts consistently since I was in my 20s–but this time with a POF and MMX twist. Training every muscle three times a week but with a different exercise each workout (POF–midrange, stretch or contracted). [Read more…]
Jonathan: Legs (Training in the dark)
Training in the dark was interesting. We had a severe thunderstorm roll in this morning, and it took out our power for a couple of hours. I couldn’t work, so I hit the gym. Just one window down there, and it provided just enough light to find the weights… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (MMX Pyramid)
After reviewing the study by Brad Shoenfeld, Ph.D. that we mentioned in the new MMX e-book, I decided to really shake things up with a full body workout. In brief, the study compared training each bodypart once a week with training each three times a week, but with the same volume of sets. So if the once-a-week workout was, say, 12 sets for quads, the three-days-a-week subjects did four sets three times a week for the same volume–just more frequency. The more-frequent group built MORE muscle. Time to give it a shot with full-body workouts, using different exercises at each workout (more on that in the Summary below)–AND the MMX method. Absolutely great first workout–revive the anabolic drive… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (POF MMX)
I was planning some change today, and then I flashed back to how much I liked the POF MMX Mega-Mass Workout from several weeks ago, so I just swapped back to that. Fantastic workout, and intensity was sky high… [Read more…]
Steve: Delts, Arms + Calves/Abs
What goes around comes around–in this case MMX Pre-Ex, which I experimented with last Friday for delts and arms. It worked so well I used it at every workout, and now, a week later, I’m still on it. I was looking forward to the mega pump, and, with a few exercise changes, I wasn’t disappointed… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (X-cen, X-cel, Power)
Changed up the exercises just a bit today, as I just wanted some variety since this was the second time hitting chest and back this week… [Read more…]
