The Muscles Women Notice

Jonathan doing cable curls

Q: I’m not a competitive bodybuilder or physique athlete, but I want to look muscular for more sex appeal. I train all my major muscles, but I want to specialize on the muscles women notice. Any ideas on which ones those are and the best way to make those attention-grabber muscles pop?

A: Several years ago IRON MAN did a survey, an anonymous poll of a number of women about their likes and dislikes concerning the male physique. The results were very interesting… [Read more…]

How to Thicken Your Back and Re-Rip Your Abs

Jonathan Lawson bent-arm bent-over laterals - How to Thicken Your Back and Re-Rip Your Abs

Q: In the Pre-Ex 3X Mass Workout and Size Surge 2.0 e-books I just got, you have bent-arm bent-over laterals for midback. The illustration shows palms facing back, but I feel them better with my palms down. Which way is best for midback mass? I need more thickness between my shoulder blades.

A: The bent-arm bent-over lateral raise is a CONTRACTED-position midback exercise in the Positions-of-Flexion mass-building protocol. You do them like a bent-over lateral raise for your rear delts, only you allow more of an elbow bend so you can better squeeze your middle traps to thicken your back. [Read more…]

Jonathan: Intense Tuesday (chest, lats, triceps, abs)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Incredibly intense Tuesday workout! I can’t take all the credit for the internal focus today, though, as this was the first time I’ve used a pre-workout supplement in ages. At least a year, I’m sure, but the results were pretty undeniable. Fierce workout with an almost abnormal pump. Those are good things… [Read more…]

Steve: Fired-Up Friday (MMX Compound Aftershock)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I was motivated today, but for some reason my lower back wasn’t. Felt like a minor impingement, so I avoided Semi-stiff-legged deadlifts and simply did two sets of Flat-back hypers. The DB squats were no problem on my back, so those stayed in–wicked burn done immediately after high-rep Sissy squats…

Jonathan: Fatigued Friday

Jonathan Lawson before after

Big changes in my little world over the last 24 hours, and they’re all good for a change. That said, it seems my mind wasn’t as relaxed as I was expected when it came time for some shut-eye. With about 4 hours of sleep, I was expecting a fully fatigued Friday workout, but I had a shocking amount of energy. Thank you pot-o-coffee… [Read more…]

Steve: Show-Muscle Wednesday (MMX Aftershock arms & delts)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I hit arms and shoulders with MMX Compound Aftershock; I used one or two isolation-move sets for legs, chest and back. Great workout–gotta love focusing on delt/arm pump…

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs (Torched Tuesday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

That was a hardcore Torched Tuesday Workout. Chest and triceps were particularly on fire, but lats were in the deep-burn zone, too. Funny that I wasn’t actually feeling 100% (let’s just call it “stomach issues”), but strength was up and focus was unreal… [Read more…]

Steve: MMX Aftershock (legs, chest, back, brachialis, abs)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
Felt great as I hit it at 6:20 a.m. in a fairly empty gym. Most of the cardio machines were occupied, but the weight area was vacant. Lucky me since I know the secret–resistance training is king. Quick Compound Aftershock attack today…

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Tris, Abs (weekend warrior)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Work obligations tied up my Friday morning more than expected, but no worries, as that gave some more recovery time for the soreness to subside. Full-tilt boogie for a weekend warrior workout this morning, however, and there’s nothing quite like a cold, Saturday morning workout when you know you’re going to be working under a car for 10 hours once you’re done. LOL… [Read more…]

Steve: MMX Compound Aftershock (iso legs, delts, arms, abs)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
It’s only January, but I feel as if my motivation is starting to come back with a vengeance. I had one of the best workouts in a long while today, and I even added a set for both chest and back at the end. Unusual to have so much energy as I left the gym…
