Steve: MMX Midrange + Stretch (legs/chest/back +)
Last Monday it was midrange work with a rest/pause. Today I dropped the rest/pause add-on and did a stretch-exercise instead.… [Read more…]
Steve: MMX Pre-Ex Thursday (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)
Today was full body, including delts and arms–pre-exhaustion for most bodyparts. That is, an isolation (contracted) exercise for 20-ish reps followed by a compound (midrange) for 8-10, 10-second rest/pause, then rep out with that same weight.

Muscle-Fire Friday (chest, delts, triceps) – Jonathan
Nothing like a freaky muscle-fire Friday. Every target muscle group was burning and the pump was (and still is) off the charts. Lovin’ me some 4X, and the workouts have been super efficient…

Big, Basic 4X (back, biceps, abs) – Jonathan
The Big, Basic 4X workout is going strong. Sure, it’s only three days in, but I’m loving everything about it so far, though I can see that I’ll likely be making some additions. For now, however, the workouts are fantastic and sparking new motivation…

Leg-Blasting Tuesday – Jonathan
It’s been quite a while since I had a dedicated leg-blasting workout.

New Routine Monday (chest, delts, tris) – Jonathan
I was looking forward to New Routine Monday, and it didn’t let me down. I spent some time going through previous e-books and notes to decide which way to go, and it was my notes that gave me a good reminder of how much I love the skin-swelling pump from 4X, so the decision was made…

Steve: MMX Contracted-Stretch Friday (legs/chest/back/delts/arms/abs)
I hit everything today with an interesting combo: contracted move for 20 reps, rest 30 seconds, heavy stretch move for 9 reps, rest 10 seconds, stretch move with same weight for around 5. Even with the low volume, I expect soreness from the contracted-stretch combo. Stretch moves induce trauma, one of the 3 components for optimal hypertrophy (the other two are mechanical tension and metabolic stress)…

Double-Split Friday (legs, chest, tris) – Jonathan
I had a bit of a late start this morning, so I had to cut it short, but there was no chance I was going to miss the full workout, so it was a double-split Friday. Legs in the morning, chest and triceps in the afternoon…
